Upcoming Exhibits at Thornhill Gallery
“GLITCH MOMMY: FORTY DAYS & FORTY NIGHTS”
a 21st Century adoption tale in mixed media
by Rita Koehler
August 21 – October 6
Using source material from the baby closet of collected items while
waiting in the adoption pool and items from her own family archives,
Koehler uses photographic images layered with paint and other mixed
media to create a personal language of symbols and motifs constructing
a new narrative of origin, mother, and matriarch.
“Collections of the Subconscious”
by Allison Bowman
October 23 – December 7
Birds and butterflies represent the conscious mind, with their ability to soar
and navigate the world with intention and clarity. Plants, on the other hand,
represent the subconscious mind, with their deep roots and hidden growth
that occurs beneath the surface. Through my artwork, I aim to bring these
two elements together in a harmonious way.
