Works by Stephen Shugart + Travis Vermilye with Katie Caron

Stephen Shugart: Time and Memory
In this series of abstract, geometric sculptures, Stephen Shugart reflects on the passage of time, from its theoretical and philosophical concepts to its intimate human counterpart, memory, whether actual or imagined, collective or individual. As Shugart notes, memories are made and filtered over time and fade or grow in intensity as they exist in our own individual consciousnesses. Remembrances mix and swirl in our heads, mysteriously creating our personalties and realities. In this exhibition, Shugart continues to explore the “intermateriality” of the materials he uses to create his structures--investigating the interaction and relationship, or fusion between different materials as an artwork is created, discovering the way various materials such as common or exotic woods, metal fasteners, springs, fabric, wire, found objects and light come together to create meaning, texture and aesthetic form.

Travis Vermilye and Katie Caron: Collections
Inspired by the tangles of plant life and objects washed ashore along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Donegal, Ireland, “Collections” explores the beauty found in unexpected places and the lasting imprint we leave on the world around us. Through a series of digitally crafted compositions, digital animations, and 3D-printed sculptures, this exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the intricate beauty of coastal ecosystems and the unintended consequences of our presence.
