exhibition will feature abstract, mixed media paintings inspired by the artist’s foraging for mushrooms and other experiences observing and immersing herself in the natural environment, both locally and internationally. In addition to a series of paintings and works on paper, St. Clair will present sculptural objects – pigments and natural and man-made debris composed into a frozen form.

Opening reception: Sept. 29 from 6-7:30 p.m.

Embodied Cartography in Territorial Disputes (Oct. 12-Dec. 7)

Susan Harbage Page has spent her life crossing borders, both literally and figuratively. Born in Ohio, she moved to North Carolina and thus experienced both sides of the Mason-Dixon line at an early age. In 1969, when Page was 10 years old, her mother took her and her three sisters on a three-month European camping trip in a red VW bus. The five women crossed 23 borders, including the Iron Curtain countries of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. At Romania’s border, agents detained the family for a day. Being trapped between two borders and belonging to neither influenced Page’s work which explores militarized spaces, borderlands, nation, gender, race, archives, representation, and belonging. While Page has a lens-based/ documentary background, she currently works in photography, video, performance, and installation.

Opening reception: Oct. 12 from 6-7:30 p.m.
