Kathryn Oberdorfer: "Whereabouts"
Many of the works in this exhibit were started during and even before the pandemic and, in my whereabouts, they were recently completed. Limitations imposed by pandemic restrictions challenged me to stretch out from under my painting-comforts and led me to the exploration of collage. Old drawings from hikes through Aspen forests, segments of a wasp nest composed of remarkable hexagonal structures, and flower petals found pressed in a book that belonged to my late father-in-law; they are all elements that found a place in my work.

Madeleine Dodge "Breakfast with Plato"
Madeleine Dodge is a contemporary experimental artist whose work relies on process and materials to interpret personal and societal events. Her new series, “Breakfast with Plato", explores the themes of time, memory, and reflection through a minimalist aesthetic. In collaboration with her husband, David Dodge, she delves into the idea of how the passage of time erodes our memories, even as they continue to dialogue with the present.
