In her installation The Land The Journey, Ruth Boerefijn draws inspiration from the diaries and journals of Jackson’s pioneer women. Through her translation the installation highlights experience, relationship and identity. www.ruthboerefijn.com

Using multiple projections, Lindsey Glover transforms the Loft into a space for the exploration between perception, memory and experience. She collects photograph and video images that are later reexamined to find parallels in context, all the while focusing on the capture and storage of time. www.lindsey-glover.com

Mayme Kratz embeds found object in acrylic resin with surfaces sanded smooth and hard. Tiny details and mysterious forms emerge and sink into the plane. This series of wall work invites the viewer to look close enough to feel as if they are entering each Knot.www.maymekratz.com

Jenny Dowd explores space and movement with a series of steel and Egyptian Paste vessels. The boats hover, dive and flock overhead while exploring the gallery in a playful dialogue.www.jennydowd.com

Michele Oka Doner
Art Association Gallery: June 1 – July 27, 2012

Michele Oka Doner: Earth Fire Air Water, Organized and curated by Camille Obering, highlighted Oka Doner’s life long interest in connecting nature and humanity through both art practice and design objects. The Art Associationcollaborated with Dancers’ Workshop, which presented adance programming inspired by Oka Doner’s work in the gallery space during the opening night event and on Center Stage Theatre at the Center for the Arts.

The selected pieces in this show reflect Oka Doner’s own interpretation of the elements. The show will included five 96 x 48 inch, one 72 x 36 inch, and two 46 x 46 inch relief prints from organic material such as grasses, roots, and branches, representing earth. The organic material is composed on printing plates to reflect the human form in various ways. Placed on the floor in the middle of the surrounding human relief prints were Oka Doner’s star bases (fire), cast bronze sculptures resembling root systems and which hold candles. The star bases are reminiscent of explosions, with energy bursting from the center of the form. They are derived from forming rotting wood elements, the detritus of very old tree roots – the flotsam and jetsam of the woods – with wax.
