ARTIST AND DESIGNER DANIELE ALBRIGHT WILL BE PRESENTING CHROMA ILLUMINATA, AN EXHIBITION OF LIGHT SCULPTURES, AS WELL AS ASTRA OBSCURA, A NEW SERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKS. CERAMICIST LOIS SAMUELS WILL BE EXHIBITING OPEN / PORTAL, AN EXPANDED COLLECTION OF WORKS FROM HER OPEN AND PORTAL CERAMIC COLLECTIONS.

ASTRA OBSCURA, ALBRIGHT'S NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC SERIES, FEATURES IMAGES TAKEN DURING THE 2024 ECLIPSE. RATHER THAN THE TRADITIONAL DOCUMENTARY STYLE OF ECLIPSE PHOTOGRAPHY, A MORE EMOTIONAL, PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE IS CAPTURED IN THIS SERIES. THE SUN TAKES

ON A MYSTERIOUS LUNAR QUALITY, DAYLIGHT SKIES RENDER THEMSELVES INTO MYSTERIOUS NIGHT SCENES, AND THE ABSORPTION OF THE SUN INTO THE MOON OBSCURES THE IDENTIFICATION OF ONE FROM THE OTHER AS THEY DRAMATICALLY UNITE.

JAMAICAN-BORN CERAMICIST LOIS SAMUELS

A RECENT ADDITION TO TWENTIETH, WILL BE EXHIBITING OPEN / PORTAL, AN EXPANDED SERIES OF PIECES FROM HER OPEN AND PORTAL COLLECTIONS. THROUGH HER HAND-BUILT FORMS, SAMUELS CREATES DECONSTRUCTED YET HARMONIOUS PIECES THAT REFLECT THE BEAUTY FOUND IN IMPERFECTION AND EXPLORES THEMES OF MEMORY, TRANSFORMATION, AND THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF PAST AND PRESENT.

IN CHROMA ILLUMINATA, ALBRIGHT EXPANDS HER LUMALIGHT SERIES OF WORKS INSPIRED BY CALIFORNIA'S LIGHT AND SPACE ART, WHICH DANIELE OFTEN REFERENCES SINCE GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES, IMMERSED IN THAT CULTURE AND AESTHETIC. THE WORKS FEATURE NEWLY DEVELOPED HUES AND LAYERING, COMBINING COLOR SATURATION AND ILLUMINATION TO RADIATE A PRESENCE BEYOND THEIR PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS.
