Heron Arts is pleased to announce the group exhibition Embodiment by Amy Sol, Bakpak Durden, Carmen McNall, Chad Hasegawa, Chiaozza, Haoyun Erin Zhao, Hanna Lee Joshi, Helice Wen & Rubén Sanchez. Embodiment asks artists to analyze how the elements of design (shape, color, space, form, line, value, and texture) transcend the sum of their parts in a cohesive composition. How do they rely upon and inform each other to bring a piece to life. Haoyun Erin Zhao will give a short artist talk about her installation work at 4pm at the opening reception, which is Saturday April 16th from 2-6pm.

Rotationships
Augustine Kofie
Appointments through April 9th
ROTATIONSHIPS is Augustine Kofie stripped down to the essence of his practice. Created over three years, the series reflects the artist’s long-standing interest in salvaging forgotten remnants of the past and elevating them by repurposing them with a futuristic aesthetic. For years, the artist has obsessively collected, archived, and repurposed pressboard, a heavy, multi-ply paper stock used in packaging and office supplies from the 1950s to the 1980s. Previously, pressboard has appeared as the hidden architecture in Kofie’s collages, subsequently covered with layers of paint, ink, and spray. In ROTATIONSHIPS, the only “paint” used is the colored pressboard itself; brushes only apply adhesive and varnish.

Tree no. 1
Thomas Jackson
Heron Arts is pleased to announce "Tree no. 1," a new installation by Thomas Jackson. Expanding on ideas he has explored in his "Emergent Behavior" photographic series, Jackson's piece will juxtapose organic and manufactured materials to promote fresh perspectives on the complex balance between natural and manmade systems. The piece will feature a 15-foot "Sango-Kaku” (Coral Bark Japanese Maple) surrounded by floating LED grow lights and plastic take out containers. While Jackson frequently works with organic materials in outdoor settings, this will be the first time he has incorporated living flora into an indoor sculpture. The work presses the viewer not only to contemplate our dysfunctional relationship with the natural landscape, but also to envision a sustainable future in which natural and man-made systems are integrated and intertwined, and more resilient as a result. The exhibition will also feature a number of prints from the “Emergent Behavior” series.
