    Dec. 4, 2020 - May 1, 2021
    Turchin Center for the Visual Arts

    Christina Laurel is a paper artist creating installations and two-dimensional art, all with a Japanese aesthetic. Her mission is to create an “exhale” moment, an oasis that offers a respite and refuge from our daily sensory overload. Suspended lace panels support a migrating pattern of butterflies that cast shadows and respond to air movement.

    Longing for Amelia – The Historical and Mythological Landscape: Matthew Arnold
    Dec. 4, 2020 - May 1, 2021
    Turchin Center for the Visual Arts

    On May 20, 1937, Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan took off from Oakland, California on the first leg of their historic round-the-world flight. They disappeared 43 days later while trying to locate tiny Howland Island in the remote Pacific. With this photographic project, Matthew Arnold documents the environs that play host to the many theories which attempt to resolve the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance.

    Fictive Strategies: Suzanne Sbarge & Holly Roberts
    Oct. 2, 2020 - June 5, 2021
    Turchin Center for the Visual Arts

    Suzanne Sbarge and Holly Roberts share a similar sensibility; they both use collage, weaving textures and images into surrealistically enigmatic artworks that open subconscious doorways into the ambiguous space of the night: haunting dreams brim with narrative probability remaining stubbornly resistant to a literal interpretation.

    Rain and the River: Jacklyn St. Aubyn
    July 10, 2020 - Feb. 6, 2021
    Turchin Center for the Visual Arts

    Painter Jacklyn St. Aubyn creates a magical space in which things aren’t what they appear to be. First perceptions may be misleading. She has landscapes and interiors in mind as she works, but not in the realistic sense; rather, she conjures imaginary spaces that defy logic.
