In Spectacle, Johns Island based mixed media artist Christine Bush Roman presents a series that is both serious and comical, featuring colorful scenes in stacked realities. The work pokes fun at the spectacle of living while also offering glimpses of joy and wonder. With subtle nods to mythology and images like ouroboros and sock puppets, the pieces reference cycles of rebirth, ideas of fate, and the desperation for control. In Land of Cities, ceramicist Caroline Clark presents ten pieces: one for each year she lived in New York City. Each City is a world unto itself, a fantastical, imagined metropolis; but pull back the veil ever so gently and the viewer discovers that every City is indeed New York. The greatest secret of New York is that it is not one place, but many; each borough is its own kingdom, each neighborhood within has its own personality, and each block is further unique still. New York is not a city. New York is a Land of Cities. The artists will host a free public reception at the gallery from 5-7pm on Friday, March 6.
