"Via" explores the tension between the anxious balancing act many of us call life and the possibility of another “Via”. Blending realistic portraiture with stylized botanical and theatrical imagery, the exhibition invites viewers into a world where certainty gives way to wonder, asking what might happen if, instead of holding on tighter, we discovered that beauty, grace, and love have been waiting beneath us all along.

Castles and Cathedrals
and
These Don’t Go
Susie Lilley
Photography
Open during the ArtWalk
Thursday, June 11, 5 - 9 pm

"Castles and Cathedrals explores the differing time periods of construction, the utilitarian designs teamed with the defensive mindset needed to protect the inhabitants of the city, as well as the safekeeping of the royals. The cathedrals were diverse . . . some wore the expensive construction like a badge of honor while others were more humble and crude. While some of these places of worship were consecrated as holy ground, others gained their holiness by the mere primitive presence on the landscape, inspiring awe.
It is my hope that these images ignite a desire to see these places for yourself and marvel at the wonders of history."

Castles and Cathedrals
and
These Don’t Go
Susie Lilley
Photography

"While touring the British Isles and anticipating the visit to admire all the old architecture of the castles and cathedrals, I noticed that not all of the buildings were old. I also noticed the ‘cringey’ juxtaposition of a structure from the 1500s next to one built in, say, the 1980s. As much as I enjoyed the lovely arches and statuary of the cathedrals, and the historical understanding of the many purposes contained in castle life, I found myself drawn to all the questionable modern architectural additions that graced the once ancient skyline.
Therefore, two bodies of work emerged. ‘Castles and Cathedrals’ and ‘These Don’t Go.’"
