Our Very Nature
Rachelle Gardner-Roe
Our Very Nature is an interdisciplinary vision of the natural world through the vibrant perspective of artist Rachelle Gardner-Roe. This body of work blends fiber, sculpture, painting and poetry, all influenced by the artist's meditation practice. Based on the desire to reaffirm our sense of being of nature rather than separate from it, the works range from joyfully explosive to serenely devotional, while always inviting the viewer to keep looking.
This exhibition will be on view from May 9th - August 10th
