Opening: Laura Stanziola, Michael Fairchild and Carl Jennings

opening reception: Friday, March 21 from 5–7 pm
on view: March 21 – April 26, 2025

Laura Stanziola delves into the depths of human psychology and behavior, weaving together influences from science, medicine, history, literature, and myth. Her work seamlessly merges craft with fine art, where beauty and unease coexist in a delicate, thought-provoking tension.

Michael Fairchild, a self-proclaimed “hoarder” and “space cadet,” embraces abstraction as a space for contradiction and flux. His paintings celebrate the undervalued nuances of inconsistency, indecision, fragility, compulsion, and distraction, transforming these ephemeral states into visual expressions of presence and wonder. He lives and works in Philadelphia.

Carl Jennings expands the vocabulary of abstraction through small-scale works that, despite their intimacy, aspire to the monumental and transcendent. His images, rich in ambiguity and open-ended interpretation, evoke the poetic immediacy of lived experience—at once fleeting and profound.
