Opening reception: Friday, February 19, 6 – 8 p.m.

Jennifer Dorsey photographs interiors of everyday architecture, often focusing on seemingly mundane details.

  Luminous State
April 2 – May 8, 2010
Opening reception: Friday, April 2, 6 – 8 p.m.

Marc Roman: Veritas Obscura
May 14 – June 19, 2010
Opening reception: Friday, May 14, 6 – 8 p.m.

Marc Roman combines photography, drawing and painting on mounted plexiglas sheeting and cast resin to give sculptural form to traditionally two-dimensional techniques. His interest lies in the unusual application of layered abstraction to create a body of work that chronicles the relentless pursuit of physics from the discovery of X-rays and radium to the splitting of the atom and its ever shadowy presence in our lives today. Veritas Obscura will depict a "century of the electron” timeline encompassing the entire gallery that will entertain and depict all theories equally, both conspiracy and otherwise.
