Does your center have a slipstream?
through August 4, 2024

The paintings of Audrey Bialke read like Medieval manuscripts, moving through centuries to capture a balance of the natural world and human invention. With her fantastical animals juxtaposed with modern manufactured objects, Bialke’s works present a rich bouquet of imagery to ponder, capturing the musings of a logical mind that actively questions reality. From another plane of existence, the hybrid animals of Olivia Oyamada play out their rituals in riverbeds, treetops, and over the occasional bisected carcass. Intuited in an effort to capture a personal mythology or folklore, beings composed of unlikely components - insect and mammal or biped and wheel - act as Kami, or personal deities in the Shinto faith native to Japan.

For true believers, there is far more than meets the eye in Does your center have a slipstream?. Layered and unique, each artist incorporates inspired elements into their works as if collecting ingredients for a spell. Creating playfully but with purpose, Audrey Bialke and Olivia Oyamada manifest their angels and demons alike.
