ON NOW — Weightless Entities: 2022 Annual Curated Members' Exhibition 
Aug 4 - Aug 30, 2022
Reception: Aug 12, 2022 7 - 10 PM

Weightless Entities features work by @emmaenrightart, @natalogue, @breanna.shanahan, @stephaniesikma, @k.a.laird, @ryan.e.waldron, and @lana_yuan. As independent and interdependent entities, artists often express ideas framing their existence. These intuitions can be felt like a weightless presence in which the artists in this exhibition manifest through unique assemblages of material, texture, and form. Like floating daydreams, forming and reforming across different hands, they guide us to deeper reflections.

Born and raised in Hamilton, Stephanie is a printmaker who creates linocuts. Carving into a fresh block of linoleum in pursuit of just the right line is her experience of flow. The goal of Stephanie’s work is to celebrate the beauty of the mundane-- from the organic to heavy industry.  Many of her lino prints feature the city of Hamilton and its industrial waterfront, a space where the contrast of organic and industrial shapes makes the ordinary deeply compelling. Stephanie’s work is also informed by a love of gardening and the botanical world. Printmaking is a very physical process and, as in gardening, labor is needed to yield beautiful results. In addition to her printmaking, Stephanie works as a Highschool Art teacher; an ideal occupation because you’re always learning. Her artwork has been included in various exhibitions and auctions and is part of numerous private collections.
