Join us for the opening reception for “Reimagining the Intersection of Art & Environment- Exploring Natural & Repurposed Materials”. See the artwork for the first time and hear from the artist and curator! *Free and open to the public.*

About the exhibit: A solo exhibit with artist Jyoti Duwadi, curated by Barbara Matilsky, exploring natural and repurposed materials. Jyoti’s wide-ranging approach to making art calls attention to nature’s beauty and the precarious relationship between humans and the environment. This exhibition spotlights his repurposed sanding belts marked by the tress of Pacific Northwest Forests. Jyoti transforms this industrial material with earth colors and “visual poetry,” calligraphic writing defined by Ayurvedic medicine. The exhibition also features a variety of other media, including beeswax sculptures- made with utilitarian objects- in response to the ecological crisis of disappearing honey bees colonies.
