March 23 - April 6 “While driven by a longing for wholeness and unity, I experience uncertainty when confronted with social, economic and environmental conditions, which leads me to question optimism. Our world is increasingly polarized, having blindly allowed a mass-seduction by algorithms which amplify bias for profit. I observe threats to our relationships with each other, to the survival of humanity, and to my own ability to be okay with what is happening. The discomfort

January 31st to February 14th, 2026 "This exhibition is an exploration of pleasant pasts. Some from my youth, some much more recent. The works I've chosen reflect how I interpret the fragments of recollection that have stuck to me from these times.
