Into the Abyss: Marsia Alexander-Clarke, Richard Brown Lethem, & Eileen Senner
Into the Abyss will consist of three solo exhibitions organized around a common theme. Artists Marsia Alexander-Clarke (video), Richard Brown Lethem (painting), and Eileen Senner (painting) all explore the picture plane as a portal of infinite space that is also a metaphor for the mind. The "abyss" of the picture plane is a space of vast emptiness, yet also one of powerful latent energies.
