Sep 6-21 Breanna Sprecker: Blood Memory explores themes of complex grief and intergenerational trauma. It weaves together family narratives, visual metaphors, and distinct cultural references through animal symbology and poetry. Paintings, sculptures, and text-based work and imagery from its source material of poetry written about the tragic death of Breanna’s estranged mother, from whom she gets her Indigenous heritage. Opening reception: Sep 5, 7-9 pm. Oct 4-19 Ella Chay: I Saw You in a Dream. Working with acrylic paint and paper maché clay, Chay creates images that feel both familiar and strange. The pieces blend time periods, places and objects in unexpected ways, and reflect on the unpredictable nature of the subconscious mind. Opening reception: Oct 3, 7-9pm.
