Elizabeth Hasegawa Agresta
Restoration, 2024
Oil, 48”h x 16”w x 2”d

Outside and beyond the chaotic turbulence of human existence, Mother Nature continues her quiet but steadfast journey towards renewal and growth. She strives toward her zenith, cleansing, nurturing, and reaching for imperceptible light.

Natalie Giugni
Daphne, 2023
Mixed media including bone and gold leaf
51”H x 8” W x I2” D

Natalie Giugni’s sculpture, Daphne explores hidden support structures under the skin and pertaining to communities in which we identify. Giugni calls upon Greek mythology to draw attention to the timeless conflicts repeated in human history in leu of great advances in technology and science. In this work Giugni introduces Daphne, a symbol of victory and immortality, within the theme of the exhibition Into the NOW: The Time of Our Lives, highlighting the absurd frailty of a lifespan, or era, within the infinite.

Stephanie Rauschenbusch,
Pointillist Bottles, 2021
Watercolor, 22” H x 29 “ W

“Pointillist Bottles” by Stephanie Rauschenbusch carries on from the Pointillism of Seurat and Signac,
which allowed complementary colors to flash next to each other.  In this watercolor, the dots are more like
electrons and protons whirling around and inside the objects painted, showing us the moving structure
of our world as an astrophysicist might see it.
