Upcoming Exhibits
Consider the Darkness and the Great Cold
Sophia Flood
May 4 - May 24, 2012
Porter Butts Gallery
Sophia Flood investigates personal ruins, marginal spaces and the act of finding in Consider the darkness and the great cold, her MFA thesis exhibition. Taking the form of painting, assemblage, video and myriad hybrids, Flood’s works articulate a moment at the edge of the familiar. Her practice involves seeking out and reworking fragments of material culture--images, objects, sounds and settings dated from various points within her lifetime--as a means of constructing contingent, non-linear narratives. A scene is set: borderland sites such as motel rooms, campgrounds and adolescent forts evoke makeshift zones of transformation. The real is in constant tension with the ideal. The viewer assembles the pieces for him or herself, and themes of immanence and desire double back on the creative process itself.

Beautiful and dystopian, Douglas Bosley's prints speak of darker times. He offers an exquisitely rendered and mysterious vision of humanity degraded and threatened by unstable entities.
