Matters of the Heart (and Other Abnormalities): Shawn Morin
Sept. 3, 2021 - Feb. 5, 2022
Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
“It seems to me that since 9/11 and Y2K, there has been a fundamental shift in the way many humans act, react and navigate the world. Add to that the current worldwide pandemic and proliferation of clinical depression, especially amongst our youth, and it is easy to perceive that the world has changed dramatically. Consequently, some humans are now far kinder and more loving than they once were, while others have grown desperate, indifferent, angry, and resentful.” — Shawn Morin

ERRATIC: Hoss Haley
July 2 - Dec. 11, 2021
Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
Sharing space with Hoss Haley’s monumental work transports the viewer to a place where a clear separation between human creation and organic influence is undefined, yet beautifully intertwined. Color and texture are suggested but are ultimately ruled by nature. The marrying of raw nature and human intervention is what makes Haley’s work so captivating, allowing the opportunity to forget traditional rules, and marvel at a creation beyond our understanding.
