Matthew Harkleroad: That Thing Right There and Holly Hazelton: Familiar Devastation
The following description comes from the event organizer.
Shift Gallery welcomes new members Holly Hazelton and Matthew Harkleroad with an exhibition through the month of January 2023.
Harkeroad presents “That Thing, Right There” as a celebration of that moment when you see it but don’t quite know what to call it, and an invitation to linger there a while. He states "My process results in playful, contemplative and often surprising imagery that reflects my experience of observing the world just before identity is overlaid upon it. "
In “Familiar Devastation”Hazelton investigates our daily experiences of ecological grief. Big and small moments come to mind: effects of catastrophic, sensationalized events caused by climate change we see in the media, to the slow, almost imperceptible transformation of plants and place over time from human meddling.
