Opening Reception: Looking Back and Seeing Now, New Work by Lava Thomas

July 11 - August 23, 2015
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 11, 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.

West Coast artist Lava Thomas has created a site-specific installation that transforms the gallery into a unique site of reflection. The exhibition centers on a kinetic installation comprised of over one hundred tambourines suspended dramatically from the gallery's ceiling. The tambourines are affixed with eyes that are depicted in large-scale drawings based on photographs from Thomas' grandmother's photo album. Mirrors incorporated into the space and relative position is continually subject to the mirrors' gentle rotations.
