Eternal Cycles - Opening October 24, 2024

Eternal Cycles unites the work of three contemporary artists, Jalena Hay, Laura Cleary Williams, and Brittney Ciccone, who explore themes of impermanence, change, and the cyclical nature of life. Through abstraction, layering, and dynamic mark-making, they collectively examine how we leave lasting traces in a constantly changing world.

The process of creating, revising, and uncovering is central to the exhibition. Each artist works intuitively, allowing their subconscious to guide them, capturing fleeting moments of clarity and reflection. The layering of materials—whether paint, charcoal, or other mediums—visually represents life’s complexity, with each layer contributing to a larger narrative. These layers echo the cyclical nature of existence: birth and death, creation and destruction, memory and forgetting.

While the forms and styles vary, the works are united by their exploration of the human condition. Some pieces blend abstraction and figurative elements seamlessly, while others rely on gestural marks or intricate patterns to convey the negotiation between inner and outer worlds. This fluidity reflects the process of self-discovery, growth, and change, capturing what it means to navigate life’s uncertainties.

This exhibition invites reflection on the ever-shifting dynamics between inner emotions and external realities.
