About the exhibition

Opens Saturday April 9

Opening Reception Saturday April 16

It’s not a superbloom year. It’s not one of those years where the rain fall gives us an explosion of colorful flowers in the desert. But it is spring. There are still median strips full of poppies and untended lots full of lupines and purple vetch. There are bright yellow dandelions growing despite everything. There are the plum trees blossoming then letting loose their purple leaves and then the cherry trees blooming and letting loose their green leaves. These moments of color, of unexpected brightness, bring me so much happiness and ground me to the earth. I think about color a lot in my own work and in the world around us. I think about what gives us a sense of belonging and a sense of connection. The artists in this show put lines together beautifully, build forms that didn’t exist before, and put colors next to each other in ways that bring delight and joy.
