Language Orthodox examines the personal commentaries artists evoke in their work. These works, stories emerged from historicity, manifested in a series of images both collective and individual. Each narration displayed in a variety of mediums focused as literal and non-literal expressions to communicate with the viewer.
The artists share nothing in particular between their works other than a statement of artistic practice itself. Artistic practice noted as a distinction from science or proof of real or unreal; Rather a form of language itself that allows communication to be interpretive between the viewer and artifact. Permitting the space for recurring opinions and succeeding dialogues in the wake of one’s view.
These works request and provide an open door for the viewer to retreat from the daily despotism of life’s routine and participate in an ongoing non-representational dialogue of communication that foreseeably has no need for an end to occur. Language Orthodox focuses not on the journey’s close but a beginning expressed in works that can be continually reconsidered throughout time.

Sarah Phyllis Smith, "There’s Nothing There to Take a Picture of"
Featuring artists Ann Barlow, Wendy Copp and Sarah Phyllis Smith
FEEL is an exhibit exploring the ways that artists use texture as a compositional tool to display a narrative to their viewers. When we look at a piece of art we tend to project our own narratives and experiences into our participation with that work. Sometimes, however, a work can be so tantalizing and engrossing that we lose ourselves and begin to experience a sort of “otherworldliness” inside that piece. The works chosen for this exhibit all have this quality to them and they have used texture to achieve it.
