The exhibition includes painting, photography, collage, textiles, print, and mixed media works by ten artists selected from an open call to artists within 50 miles of Woodstock. An opening reception celebrating this presentation and a new round of exhibitions at WAAM will be held at 28 Tinker Street on Saturday, May 10 from 4–6pm.
For this exhibition, juror Kathy Greenwood selected a group of artists whose works reflect themes of change, fluctuation, unrest and transformation. Working in a variety of media and subject matter, the diverse works on view come together through this common theme. For example, Laura Cannamela’s layered collages evoke geological formations that morph over time. Ryan Kraus’s photographs mark pivotal moments of change or transition, depicting both the stark inevitability of death and the persistence of life. Christopher Arabadjis’ swirling, colorful geometries illustrate a lively but structured unpredictability.
