Opening Reception: Zimmerman and Lake: Settling Dust, Chapter 1.

The inaugural exhibition in this series, Settling Dust presents an evolving visual dialog between Zoë Zimmerman’s evocative still life photographic works and Julie Lake’s intricately crafted stainless steel and ceramic sculptures.

Each “chapter” of the series will feature a thoughtfully curated collection of Zimmerman’s photographs, including many from her prolific Pandemic Still Lifes series, displayed alongside Lake’s sculptural pieces. This co-exhibition will offer viewers a fresh context for the artists’ individual works while fostering dialogue about the complementary and contrasting elements evident in each artist’s approach, technique, and medium.

Furthermore, the exhibition provides a platform for mutual influence between the artists. As Lake’s sculptures and Zimmerman’s photographs interact within the gallery space, each artist’s work will inform and cross-pollinate with the other, shaping content for the subsequent shows in the series.
