Logan Woodle

Chaddock & Morrow Gallery – Located at The Dairy Barn Arts Center

On View January 19 – March 10

A reception will be held on January 19, from 6-8 pm alongside OH+5.

Logan presents generations of stories about a single place with the goal of showing how that place shapes, and is shaped by, the people who live on it. The individual narratives of the work, when layered, address topics as simple as pride and joy but also as complex as generational wealth, climate change, and racism. These stories are illustrated through the abstraction and compression of representational narrative elements into absurd and complex forms.

Topographies

by Natalie Lanese

O’Bleness GalleryLocated at The Dairy Barn Arts Center

On view: September 8 – December 8, 2023

Topographies is a series of abstract paintings on fabric inspired by landscapes and geological forms. Unstretched and suspended, the paintings reside somewhere between painting and object, encouraging the viewer to interact with the work within the gallery space. Signature devices such as simplified shapes, patterns, and bright and contrasting color combinations construct both physical and psychological spaces on an impressive scale.

Reanimated: A New Purpose

by Adrian DesJardins

Holzer Community Gallery located at 2131 E State St, Athens, OH 45701

July 6th – September 4, 2023

My work is meant to be transformative. I attempt to reanimate mundane objects, giving them a completely new narrative. Some of the items incorporated in these pieces were selected purposefully, while others were surprise finds. Either way, my intention is always to elevate a more beautiful existence than they previously had. The inspirations and visions for my work are things I greatly enjoy sharing.

LUKE HAYNES

Opening Reception Friday, May 26th, 4 – 6 pm

On view May 26th – July 15th, 2023

Quilts are sculpture, and as such, they exist in the world, passing through time and taking up space. This means that by the nature of the universe, they get interacted with. LUKE plans to create an installation piece with a series of 10 Quilts designed to reflect the experience of existence. Each time the quilts are exhibited, they are changed. Though they start as simple blankets, by the end, they will have the artifacts and narrative of ‘being’ embedded in them visually. 

Opening Reception on Friday, January 13th, 6 – 8 pm.

On view January 13th – March 19th ,2023
 We believe all women are capable, courageous, creative, and inspired. 
The Women of Appalachia Project was created to address discrimination directed at women from the Appalachian region by encouraging participation from women artists of diverse backgrounds, ages, and experiences to come together, to embrace the stereotype, to show the whole woman; beyond the superficial factors that people use to judge her.
