Thought I Saw Angels, 2025, paper, cardboard, and found objects, size variable
ROBERT ST. JOHN
Thought I Saw Angels...
For his 2025 solo Spark exhibition, Robert St. John will create a large, modular collage on forty feet of the gallery’s walls. Better described as an installation artwork, “Thought I Saw Angels…” is inspired by the obsessive detail and personal iconography of folk or “unschooled” art.
It imagines the possible veneration of a portrait discovered in a thrift store, and draws imagery from popular culture, including advertising, comics, movies and television, and from Western European art history.

BARBARA BAER
Play Humans, like wolves, crows and dolphins, never outgrow playing. In play we generate new art, new science, and explore "what if?" These sculpture installations reflect visual thinking about play.  The Burden of Holding, 2025, Porcelain, 10x5x5 in.
BETH ROLAND Dwellings Dwell (intransitive verb) 1: to remain in a time 2: to live as a resident; exist, lie 3: to keep attention directed; to speak or write insistently Through my 'dwellings' I explore complex issues surrounding women's bodily autonomy, societal rules and social inequality. My three dimensional artwork often references the shape of the uterus or the wasp nest-temporary dwellings that embody the dualities of power and vulnerability, the banal and the divine.
