From our current exhibition TIMEWAVEULTRA: Heavy Deeds from the Book of Skulls, on view through 6/27

TIMEWAVEULTRAis a collaboration between artists Cole Caswell and Bryan Graf. The works in this exhibition were made during an intense trance-like period of remixing, improvising and layering one another’s photographs. This resulted in 94 works that range from assemblages, sculpture, text pieces, books, and other objects.

here are just a couple days left to see Forbidden Fruit. Up through 5/9

Included in the exhibition is #SayGay by Erica Diamond

#SayGay responds directly to the rise in #dontsaygay legislation that seeks to erase the
existence of queerness in schools by banning books with queer content. The backpack
is filled with queer secrets from a workshop with the queer meetup group of Stand Up
for Kids Hampton Roads, a nonprofit organization addressing housing insecurity for
youth – an issue that disproportionately affects LGBTQ youth.

Two fun little works by Nava Lubelski are featured in our current exhibition “Forbidden Fruit.” On view through 5/9

Using found fabrics as a ground, Lubelski adds hand-stitching for an aesthetic of “mending” which is reminiscent of the fabric equivalent of the Japanese art of Kintsugi in pottery. Accentuating stains and tears with her needlework, Lubelski focuses attention on these imperfections and celebrates their intrinsic beauty in an act that seems to be reminding us that the small incidents of everyday life are too markers of history.

Included in our exhibition Forbidden Fruit, “Broken Eggs” by Ursula Gullow. Up through 5/9

The exhibition draws inspiration from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, examining the consequences of succumbing to temptation, the thirst for knowledge, shame, and mortality while further engaging with with modern themes of seduction, forbidden pleasure, and the loss of innocence.

This featured work by Gullow utilizes iconographic symbols and art historical references to signify loss of virtue.

On view in our exhibition “Forbidden Fruit,” Mystery by Orly Cogan

On vintage linen, time and tenderness intersect. Hand-stitched bodies gather here, over lapping and entwined in a tableau that feels both intimate and elusive. Their gestures are ambiguous a whisper, an embrace, a gaze cast outward as if caught between memory and myth.

The work pulses with contradictions: the innocence of flowers alongside the sensuality of the flesh; the openness of play beside the secrecy of whispered exchanges. Are these scenes of joy, of desire, of burden, of care? The story shifts depending on where your eye rests, what stitch is followed.

Painted washes soften the surface into a dreamlike haze, while the embroidery anchors it in tactile reality. The linen itself once a domestic textile carries a history of use, care, and intimacy, now transformed into a filed of mystery and imagination.

Three intriguing works by artist Casey Engel are included in our current exhibition “Forbidden Fruit”

Developed during a residency at Township10, this series focuses closely on the fingertip as both a tool and a subject. The surfaces are heavily dimpled and pinched, at times almost aggressively handmade, holding the trace of touch as a record of making. In works like Creature and Helios, Engel used pinch molds taken directly from her fingertips, which are embedded into the forms, emerging from and re-entering the surface.

These gestures sit somewhere between growth and intrusion, pointing to the tension between what we are taught to find attractive and what we might otherwise reject. Bumps, lumps, and oozing forms, things that can carry shame, are also deeply human and uncomfortably beautiful.
