Square Dancing
Katherine Daniels

Square Dancing presents seven large ribbon canvases by Katherine Daniels. The body of work presented is influenced by the “Eccentric Abstraction” movement in which artworks engage non-objective abstraction while using idiosyncratic, organic forms, materials that appear to be malleable and pliable, craft-based techniques, and often engage themes of gender and sexuality.

Under the Wolf Moon
by D Kessinger

Kessinger’s paintings inhabit a mental space between dreams and memories, drifting easily into forgetfulness and beyond. Her chunky, textured surfaces are slowly built up, scraped back, and reworked over and over, transforming the act of making into a meditation without a fixed destination. She explores feminist themes through rich surfaces created with traditional and water-based oil paints, Liquitex, and wax media on linen.

Vernacular Versailles
by Kat Ryals

Ryals’ rug series blends the aesthetics of modern banquet carpets with 18th c. European Savonnerierugs - textiles favored by French aristocracy. They have the appearance of handwoven, royal opulence yet were produced through a physical, hand-built collage process, then photographed and printed onto velvet rugs by an accessible, consumer level printing company.

The designs are enchanting, yet the elements that constitute them are discarded, cheap, artificial, or dead. A questioning of perceived value is played with here, by luring the viewer in with luxury aesthetics before revealing the work’s kitsch qualities. Their imagery references places of desire where busy carpets exist – conference centers for trade shows, elaborate palaces from a bygone era, perhaps the casino floor –spaces designed to keep consumers hopelessly spending under the illusion of attaining or becoming something more.

Metropolis
Alexis Duque

Alexis Duque creates highly detailed paintings of densely crowded cities—not filled with people, but with objects, architecture, and layers of accumulated life.


Through precise linework and intricate compositions, Alexis aim to depict elements that inhabit clustered spaces, where nature sometimes reclaims human environments—appearing as post-apocalyptic visions or utopian narratives.
