June 18 @ 6:00 pm - July 4 @ 5:00 pm

Besty Damon :Water, Agent of Life
Nicole Peyrafitte: Mementos of Like Practice
June 18 – July 5, 2026

Two artists whose work bridges art, ecology, performance, and activism.

Betsy Damon, a Guggenheim Fellow and pioneering ecofeminist artist, presents recent paintings and collages inspired by the creative agency of water itself:
“Every piece in this exhibition is created from two basic water images: one is water spinning into vortices in a creek and the other is the movement of healthy microbes in a drop of water as seen through a microscope. In this intense investigation from which all life is created.” – Betsy Damon

Nicole Peyrafitte presents paintings, bird studies, performance-based work, and reflections drawn from an ongoing interdisciplinary practice spanning visual art, food, language, and observation.

 

Opening Reception: June 18, 6–9pm
Action Painting Performance at 7pm
