Artist website

Anna Boothe, fascinated by archaic cultures and their rites of passage, creates icons out of cast glass and found objects referring to the female form of facets of herself. Boothe's innate sense of curiosity lead her to the ancient glass process "pâte de verre," a 19th century French glass-casting technique meaning "paste of glass" using the lost wax process, known as investment casting. She initially hand-carves individual elements in wax or case directly from botanicals. After being transformed into glass, the parts are combined with other glass components. The technique results in translucent objects that glow from within.

Jamie Earnest | A Brief Moment in the Sun

June 20, 2025 - October 14, 2025 | Art Alley

Reception Date: Thursday, September 4, 2025 | 4 - 6:00 p.m.

Artist website

A Brief Moment in the Sun incorporates shadows, silhouettes, and surfaces that serve as both material and metaphor. Jamie Earnest's paintings exist at the threshold between suggestion and trickery, interior space and the viewer's gaze. Anchored in the dual concerns of allusion and illusion, this body of work invites a kind of double vision - where presence is always flickering, spectral, and unresolved.
