"Portraits of Primal Forces," 2/8-3/29, UW Union South-Gallery 1308 (reception 6-8 pm, 2/8).

press release: The artist writes, “Just as we move, nature moves, changing with the shifts in time and because of us. Our innate compulsion to see, feel, collect, and contain is found on the soles of our shoes, through our fingertips, into pocket landscapes. From the top of the mountain down to the shoreline, the wilderness is manmade. Inspired by geology and a contemporary sublime, this exhibition reaches those who have traversed landscape and yearned to hide it in their pocket, as if a stone found on a path.”
