Opening July 10th at Inner State Gallery Alchemy , curated by artist Monica Canilao and features over 40 diverse artists including Doze Green and Swoon.
Canilao herself exists within a community of creators, and for Alchemy she has selected artists who wield this magical power to transform their surroundings, and materials before them, into useful and beautiful objects. These contributing artists practice everyday alchemy within their lives and creative practice, revealing artwork that flows from one state to another manifesting magical transformation and combining media to create something new. Metal is reshaped and welded into tools, fabric is woven from plant to thread into clothing, tree to wood to shelter. Seed to food for life. Focused creative energy is birthed from dreams of the maker.
