Opening Reception and Artist/Curator Talk: Saturday October 12

Storytelling has been a constant in human history. When we share a story with others, it breathes life into a room, filling it with dialogue and mysterious beings. It can also be a way to combat today’s heaviness, transporting us to other places and timelines, whether real or imagined. 

Heather Hamann and Michael Nuñez are two artists deeply engaged in the art of storytelling. Rather than depicting an accurate reflection of reality, they reimagine the world through their unique visual language. 

The works in this exhibition function like a book, where we cease to exist in the everyday world and become part of a shared illusion. 

Liz Hernández (b. 1993, Mexico City, Mexico) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blursthe boundaries between reality and fiction through painting, sculpture, embroidery, andwriting.
