DORA SOMOSI – ALCHEMY OF MEMORY

Posted on 2026-01-26

Dora Somosi’s exhibition Alchemy of Memory invites viewers into a world where nature, history, and personal reflection are woven together through the luminous medium of cyanotype. Known for her striking blue-toned prints, Somosi works with sunlight, time, and instinct to create images that feel both ephemeral and deeply rooted. In this presentation, two ongoing series, By Her Side and Mending, unfold as parallel meditations on legacy, renewal, and the quiet strength found in the act of making.

PAO HOUA HER – THE IMAGINATIVE LANDSCAPE

Posted on 2026-01-26

Pao Houa Her: The Imaginative Landscape spans more than two decades of the artist’s career, offering a fluid and unconventional survey of her evolving vision. Seen through the lens of the titular series, the exhibition weaves together connections between earlier projects, recent works, and pieces still in progress. Her photographs move seamlessly between geographies, California’s agricultural valleys, the dense jungles of Laos, and the poppy fields of Minnesota, each location transformed into a symbolic terrain that reflects both personal and collective narratives of migration and resilience.

JEANNE K. SIMMONS – ROOTED

Posted on 2026-01-26

At the heart of the exhibition is a site-specific installation composed of foraged moss, branches, grasses, and other natural elements gathered from the Pacific Northwest. For the first time, Simmons translates her outdoor practice into an interior gallery, carrying the moisture, scent, and texture of Washington State’s temperate rainforests into the Arizona desert. The resulting environment evokes a liminal terrain—part ancient, part speculative—where sculptural forms appear as remnants of human presence embedded within a living ecosystem.

ONLY THE LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED

Posted on 2026-01-19

Only the Landscape Has Changed invites viewers into a contemplative space where three artists—Pentti Sammallahti, Chico Seay, and Wesley Stringer—approach the familiar world with distinct yet harmonious sensitivity. Their works, gathered in this new exhibition at The Hulett Collection, reveal the ways quiet observation can anchor us in an ever-shifting present. As the surroundings transform with season, memory, and passage, these artists show how moments of stillness continue to hold meaning.

SUSAN BURNSTINE – THROUGH THE MIST

Posted on 2026-01-19

Through the Mist features new works from Burnstine’s color series Where Shadows Cease alongside images from Iar Connacht, shot in the tranquil Irish countryside. Burnstine’s artistic practice has long been dedicated to exploring alternative processes within photography. Using twenty one self-made film cameras, primarily constructed with plastic, vintage camera parts, random household objects, and with single-element lenses molded from plastic and rubber, she captures distorted yet vivid images while relying on instinct and intuition.

Opposite – Beyond the Quiet Man Bridge, 2023

Exhibition runs through to February 21st, 2026

ETHAN AARO JONES – ECCENTRIC NIGHTS

Posted on 2026-01-19

Eccentric Nights brings together a striking body of work created by Ethan Aaro Jones during a summer spent just south of the Arctic Circle, where the sun hovered above the horizon for more than nine consecutive days. Immersed in this extraordinary cycle of continuous daylight, Jones turned his attention to the shifting bands of blazing orange light that moved across his bedroom walls at night. The experience unsettled familiar rhythms, prompting him to reconsider the very notion of nightfall and how much of daily life depends on darkness that, in this place, simply never arrived.

Exhibition runs through to February 21st, 2026
