Science and Faith by Anabel Ruiz
Collage

This collage is a meditation on the uneasy but enduring relationship between science and faith. The plague doctor, shrouded in leather and anonymity, represents science, medicine, and the human attempt to strategize and control the unknown. The nun stands for devotion, surrender, and the mysteries of the sacred.
By placing them side by side, framed by a fractured stained-glass window, I aim to evoke the tension between these two forces. At times, they seem to be in conflict; other times, in silent solidarity.
Both figures are facing the same abyss: the unknown. Whether through calculation or contemplation, protection or prayer, they embody the human need to respond to uncertainty with meaning.
This piece doesn’t offer resolution: it holds both figures in a kind of suspended dialogue, reflecting on how both science and faith shape the way we search for meaning, healing, and truth.

“Hey, Look me Over!”On view until August 23rd

We are open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10-4pm or by appointment.

Condo Chamoscus
Juan Ranieri
Graphite on paper
30 x 26 in

“Realismo Mágico Latinoamericano” is not just a literary genre filled with bizarre characters and extraordinary situations; it can also reflect real life, especially in our subcontinent. Due to the ongoing social housing crisis, people often devise creative solutions that may not always align with the law or societal norms, leading to unexpected circumstances. This work is part of a series aimed at understanding people’s behavior, the government’s response, and the class conflicts arising from this anarchic situation. The series also seeks to propose safe architectural and constructive solutions to the total neglect by those responsible for addressing this social crisis.
“Condo Chascomús” is an evening view of one of these situations, where people invade and occupy an abandoned public facility, in this case, the water tower of the City of Chascomús in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Public property belongs to everyone and no one—home sweet home.

“Palimpsest #2”
Carrie Sieh
Acrylic, paper, polypropylene, ink, polyester thread, and silk thread on patchwork quilt top.
20 x 48 in
2025

“A patchwork quilt brings together fragments and assembles them into a coherent whole. The pieces often come from repurposed domestic textiles—each scrap an embodied memory.
Together, they form a narrative of experience over time. However, memory is rarely clear or linear, especially within the collective experience of familial history, as there are stories that are lost, transformed, or deliberately withheld. My process in creating this piece mirrors the way this kind of inherited memory functions. The result is a quilt which is also a painting which is also, in a way, a text.
The base of this piece is a repurposed fragment of a previous work, cut and pieced as a quilt
top, then stretched as a canvas and painted. The original surface has been mostly concealed
with multiple translucent paint layers on both the front and back sides. Attached to the seams are several small books, constructed of security paper used to conceal the contents of
envelopes. Whether by literal or symbolic obfuscation, no narrative remains legible, and the object becomes, in a sense, an inaccessible archive of testimony and evidence.”

“The NunatuKavut Drum Dancer”
Ruby Lethbridge
Clay, clear glaze, and smoke

“Drumming is the traditional music of my people. NunatuKavut is the name of my Inuit homeland of Labrador South. (Translation is Our ancient land.) After I created “The NunatuKavut Drum Dancer” in clay, I fired it to cone 04. She was then glazed to a cone 6 using a clear glaze and was then placed in a galvanized bin and smoked using dried leaves and old newsprint. A lid is then placed on the bin, and the piece is deprived of oxygen. The piece is infused with the colors that it chooses from the leaves and newsprint.
Then the piece becomes itself. “The NunatuKavut Drum Dancer” is wearing a traditional silpad (coat) and sealskin mukluks (boots) designed like the ones my mother made for us. She is wearing our family Metis sash at her waist, which hides where she joins together to give her a height of 32 inches. “

Crescendo by Carol Prusa
12 x 12 x 2 in
Silverpoint, acrylic, stainless steel on wood panel

“Seeking to give form to my mind’s many gardens where all states are marginal – becoming and disintegrating at the same time, this painting, Crescendo, is like the cresting of a tidal wave, becoming full before ebbing to nothing. I work in moon tones of graphite grey, mars black, and silvery stainless steel to manifest my penumbral soul, hovering between celebration and lament, to create an optical shimmer. This work represents my new body of work, focused on moon gardens, which spring from the recurring form of paradise gardens throughout history - symbolic spaces of peace, beauty, refuge, and fulfillment.“

“Phases of My Life”
Puchi Noriega
35 x 21 in
Ceramic
2024

“Puchi Noriega skillfully sculpts the figure, allowing a myriad of emotions and feelings to surface through the form. It’s a testament to the idea that within a single individual, a multitude of sentiments can coexist—joy mingling with sorrow, serenity alongside struggle, and hope intertwined with introspection. The choice of a figurative approach invites a direct connection, enabling us to project our understanding of human expression onto the piece. Each curve, line, and subtle gesture within the sculpture is intentionally shaped to convey this dynamic interplay of feelings, inviting contemplation and personal interpretation.
This sculpture serves as a poignant reminder of the universal emotional landscape we all navigate, transforming the raw essence of clay into a profound exploration of what it means to feel.”

“They. Them. Those.”
Troy Abbott
2025
31.5 x 31.5 in
Spray paint and ink on wood

“A collection of animal shooting targets rests on a shelf in front of a large portrait of Anne Frank, which represents the various ethnic groups that have been called.

Donkey - Liberals
Rat – Jewish
Owl – Intellectuals
Butterfly – Homosexuals
Frog - Puerto Ricans
Swan - Artists

The work reminds the viewer that no one is safe from the violence of an authoritarian government.  Each animal target is inscribed with the population of scapegoated communities that the artist currently finds himself in during the current US dictatorship.

The title “They. Them. Those.” references the pronouns chosen and used by the trans communities in the 21st century. (The current targets of the US government.)”
