Submerge/Emerge: Heather Aston & Wendy Morosoff Smith

This two-person exhibition of long-time friends and colleagues expresses deep concern for our beleaguered planet. Heather Aston’s heavily layered monotypes examine the pollution of our oceans and the endangerment of marine life by plastic waste and abandoned fishing gear. Wendy Moroso Smith’s collograph monoprints sound a note of hope, employing the symbol of the oculus to suggest a possible transition to a better world. The oculus, she writes, is “a portal where one thing ends and another begins.”
