Neither Here Nor There
On view through June 6
In this series of work, Betsy Hale Bannan examines the microcosm of the airport and uses the act of seeing the earth from above to explore a sense of place. She considers the aesthetics of infrastructure by focusing on the unexpected geometry of hard surfaces, the choreography taking place on them, and the scale of these vast spaces.

On view through June 6
In this multidisciplinary installation, Lisa Beth Robinson explores interconnectedness and vanishings, particularly in relation to the environment. Her work is propelled by the hidden lines she sees sewing the universe together. Sometimes close, sometimes loose, there are parallels and commonalities to be found among these lines. By bringing them to light, she weaves a space where viewers can see themselves as part of a larger whole, finding meaning, connection, and agency over life’s outcomes.
