SHARON HARPER, HUGH MERRILL, MELANIE JOHNSON, RON ANDERSON

MARCH 6 - MARCH 27, 2015

SHARON HARPER Examines the human condition through her own personal experiences with love, loss, prejudice, emotional intimidation and self-acceptance. These complex concerns are processed through paint and sculptural mediums allowing for thoughts or feelings to be synchronous and affect one another and to be to read simultaneously.

HUGH MERRILL Explores portraits from several points of view including studio and community strategies. “There will be unfinished portraits that gallery goers can draw and mark on, there will be Ghost portraits, self-portraits and a series of photo/portrait arts actions including the what I would like to be liberated from.

MELANIE JOHNSON Drawings seek to conjure a habitat that has one foot in reality and the other in a hazy internal state that evokes the slipperiness of memory, longing, and a disquieting curiosity—about an object, a body, an unexpected relationship, or a state of being.

RON ANDERSON Has always been drawn to the water whether it is the ocean, a lake, a stream, or a body of water such as the Missouri River. Armed with his 1958 Kodak Brownie, Anderson attempts to record the results of his journeys along the Missouri River.
