Dichotomies of One

Ross will also have an artist’s talk at the Gallery on Saturday June 18th, 1:00.
TRANSFORMATIONS: July 8 – 25 (opening July 7, 7 pm)
A retrospective exhibition collecting the photography of Alex Turner. (1970-2017)
Alex was a gifted visual artist with an over sixty-year history with Harrison Hot Springs. His work spans the street photography and hand-cut collages of the ‘70s, the video manipulations of the ‘80s and his digital collages post-1990. His realistic photos offer an insightful comment on his times, while the abstracts often read like paintings or etchings.
The opening will feature a reading from his upcoming novella, Toward Another Shore.
This is a collaborative exhibition between the Harrison Festival of the Arts, and the Kent Harrison Arts Council.
Nicole Young: July 29 – August 20
Working in the confluence of visual arts, environmentalism and storytelling, Nicole’s works are as much science experiments as they are conversations on ways to approach climate justice.
Moving seamlessly between large scale textile installations, works on canvas, garments and graceful drawings, Nicole’s works aesthetically resemble collage while maintaining their painterly qualities.
Nicole will be presenting a Pop-UP residency in conjunction with her exhibition.
