SUMMARY:Material Equivalence: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:New work by Memphis-based artist Pam McDonnell \nOn view: January 26-March 11\nOpening reception:  Friday\, January 26\, 6-8 pm \n\nArtist Statement:\nMaterial Equivalence is my exploration of the Spanish term “duende.” It describes the wordless reaction a person feels from experiencing the output of another person’s creativity. It can be seen in work that has a certain quality of passion and inspiration. Work with duende is said to have a soul\, be highly expressive\, and authentic. \nIn making this body of work\, I tried not to focus on whether a certain piece exhibited this\nheightened state of emotion because I wanted to leave that determination to the viewer. Instead\, I practiced noticing and trusting when I felt expressive and authentic and staying grounded in the assurance that the work was\, in a sense\, “making itself.” \nThis exhibition is titled “Material Equivalence” after a philosophical formula that sets out to prove an “if and only if” relationship. Here\, it would state that “the work has duende\, if\, and only if\, the viewer experiences the work as work with a soul and finds it full of passion and inspiration.” \n\nAbout the Artist:\nPam McDonnell earned her BFA from University of Memphis in 2005 and has exhibited her work at a number of local galleries and studios\, including David Lusk Gallery and Flicker Street Studio. Her work is displayed in public collections at Iberia Bank\, West Cancer Center\, and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital. \n

SUMMARY:Two Stories of Iceland: Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:A narrative exploration of Icelandic stories and landscape in small paintings and drawings by Elizabeth Alley. \nOn view: January 26-March 11\nOpening reception: Friday\, January 26\, 6-8 pm \n\nArtist Statement:\nIceland is dramatic and magical\, with mountains\, lava fields\, the original geyser\, visible tectonic plates\, and rivers that dramatically cut through the landscape and produce giant waterfalls that look like they drop into the abyss. Just looking at the rocks covered with moss\, or the lupin flowers creating an intricate pattern\, or the steam venting out of hot springs in the distance makes you feel like you are in a magical story. The people are lovely with a dry and dark sense of humor and a deep belief in spirits\, which is fitting for a place where the landscape feels like a presence. \nTwo Stories of Iceland is a narrative exploration of stories of Iceland in small paintings and drawings. In one series\, a true story about a young woman who disappeared\, plays out in small ink drawings that tell the story of the ensuing search\, investigation\, and the impact this event had on the community. Another series is of a trip I took to Iceland in 2015 with my best friend\, who is Icelandic\, and our families. As I tell the story of the trip in small paintings and drawings\, I re-live the trip obsessively. \nTelling these stories through sketching and painting keeps me connected to the experience and to this place that now lives in my heart. \n\nAbout the artist:\nElizabeth Alley was born in Memphis\, Tennessee\, and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Memphis. In addition to making paintings and filling up sketchbooks\, she teaches at Flicker Street Studio and organizes Memphis Urban Sketchers. Since 1999\, she has organized\, curated\, produced\, and participated in 32 solo and group shows. \nShe spent over 11 years in public art administration\, two years in the roller derby\, served as president of Urban Sketchers\, and by day works as a technical communicator with a flair for project management. Other interests include reading\, traveling\, making lists\, and staring out the window.
