Sou-ve-nir : Candice Smith Corby and William Pettit
January 5th- Feb 10th

An excerpt from their 2023 installation, Now and Soon and Somehow Forever at The New Bedford Whaling Museum, reflecting the ebb and flow of whaling life, the tide; and time itself. From Pettit's and Corby's personal experience of traveling back and forth over the Atlantic, of missing and being together, this artistic pair understand how shells, souvenirs, and handwritten letters become the thread that ties people together, in their time- and across time.

Rachel Hellmann: Interweave
Feb 16 - March 23

Hellmann will be exhibiting a new body of work consisting of hand-sewn works on Dura-lar and the shaped paintings that were inspired by them. The work composed of paint, thread, fabric and transparent papers continues to explore perception and light through luminous, layered works that highlight feminine materiality.

Heather McGill: Oblique Desert Gestures March 29 - May 4

McGill's paintings are crafted using an accumulation of cast patterns and layer upon layer of sprayed pigment. Her imagery is primarily derived from everyday textiles found in fabric stores. Transforming the ubiquitous into the extraordinary, McGill paintings reveal the sheer beauty of the materiality of making art.

Cristi Rinklin: Fugitive Landscapes May 10 - June 15

Fugitive landscapes have been a consistent motif throughout Rinklin's work. Rather than faithful representations of the natural world, her paintings manifest as illusory composites; environments situated between geographical, virtual, and psychic space. While witnessing the natural world changing radically in real time, Rinklin beautifully constructs a visual space in which both loss and comfort co-exist.
