Reception: Wild Pigment Project, Tilke Elkins & Jacks McNamara: 5-7pm

30 September 2022 
435 S. Guadalupe St. Free

Join us for this special reception featuring three new exhibitions: the group show Wild Pigment Project, and solo displays by Tilke Elkins and Jacks McNamara. A number of the featured artists will be in attendance, including Elkins and McNamara.

 

Wild Pigment Project

Wild Pigment Project promotes ecological balance and regenerative economies through a passion for wild pigments, their places of origin, and their cultural histories. This group exhibition gathers pigments, artwork and stories from people who’ve engaged with the project since its inception in 2019.

 

Tilke Elkins: Records of Being Held

“Pigments are living collaborators. I paint on wild surfaces, with mineral and botanical pigments originating in the sites where I work,” writes Tilke Elkins. While the Oregon-based artist’s solo exhibition exists in a gallery space, it’s a visual and tactile conduit to the places where she hand-gathers materials and creates artwork.

 

Jacks McNamara: Ancestral Imagination

Santa Fe-based artist Jacks McNamara develops their ancestral imagination in this immersive solo display. Mythical plants and transcendent abstractions swirl together, offering emotive portals into the past and future.
