Collapsible Sentinels | Eli Tegu
Eli Tegu’s exhibition Collapsible Sentinels documents his landscape interventions. “An old bottle can contain mysteries, unknown substances. They have always intrigued me as a link to the past, as vessels of forgotten necessities. They are kindred to landscapes containing ruins; the possibilities of the past motivate my mind.”
READING ROOM
Felt in the Fiber | Joy Ann Williams
Through the media of assemblage, knit work, wet felting, and lace, Joy Ann Williams explores color, texture, pattern, and image. “The tactile experience of making itself, so immediate and sensual, never fails to inspire me. Fluctuating between meticulous planning and free improvisation, my creative process is not static or regular, often surprising me by asserting its own flow towards an end I may have envisioned only vaguely.”
MAIN GALLERY @115 Empire St.
Sapling is a collection of work by the Providence-based artist and illustrator Conor Nolan. Spanning a decade of personal and commercial projects, it reflects his love of storytelling and his exploration of surreal yet natural, dreamlike imagery.
Tangled Access | Matthew Napoli
Matthew Napoli (b. 1993, Houston) is an oil painter based in Providence, Rhode Island. Tangled Access is a presentation of still life oil paintings centered around themes of changing, caring, and the anxieties which accompany them. Through use of uneasy color and mysterious symbolic imagery, these paintings echo the unbalanced and malformed relationships we have with our environment, one another, and ourselves.
