Feb 4-19 Regan Rasmussen: Safety Within. Using site-specific installation approaches, the artist contemplates how individuals and communities seek sanctuary during times of adversity. The viewer is invited to become immersed in a meditative space created by layers of translucent drawings to reflect, take pause, and connect to their own experience. Opening reception: Feb 3, 5-7pm. See website for info on artist talk. Mar 4-19 Saroop Soofi: The 7 Skies creates intricate traditional patterns burnt on seven bright cobalt blue silk fabrics hung from the ceiling. By means of her diasporic encounters, the artist seeks to contemplate the haunting memories – shared by many migrants – of an uninhabitable, distant land that was once home. Opening reception: Mar 3, 7-9pm. See website for info on artist talk.
