Refracted Ecologies - Nature bends, light refracts, and perception warps in Refracted Ecologies, a group exhibition exploring the fluid boundaries between the tangible and the ephemeral. The curatorial debut of Gamut Gallery Co-Owner Kasi Aten, this show brings together 11 local artists working in painting, fiber arts, glass sculpture, and mixed media. Timed to infuse the season with a burst of color, play, and connection, Refracted Ecologies invites viewers to experience the beauty of distortion, abstraction, and organic transformation.
Featured Artists: Emily McBride, Gabrielle Raye Cordes, Jeff Sorensen, Kathryn Flora, Kelli Nelson, Lili Lennox, Lindsey Ries, Nick Motter, Sage Phillips, Sander Kolodziej, Sophie Sigel
At the heart of Refracted Ecologies is an exploration of how natural landscapes, organic structures, and sensory distortions shape our experience of the world. This exhibition blurs the line between reality and abstraction. Lindsey Ries’ pixelated landscapes break nature into fragmented color fields, while Sander Kolodziej’s biomorphic forms evoke the microscopic worlds hidden around us. Gabrielle Raye Cordes' fiber pieces weave together textures, creating tactile landscapes, while Jeff Sorensen’s sculptures will have you seeing the show from another angle - literally!
Curated by Gamut Gallery Co-Owner Kasi Aten, Refracted Ecologies showcases her distinct vision and curatorial debut. As a vital, creative and organizational force behind the gallery, Kasi brings her keen eye to the forefront, shaping an exhibition that is immersive and dynamic. The featured works highlight the delicate balance between structure and fluidity, inviting viewers to engage with the natural world in new and unexpected ways.
Timed intentionally for this season, the show offers a much-needed infusion of color, playfulness and connection.
