CENTER & SOUTH GALLERIES
Hyperchromatic Interstitium | Sarah Dexter

Hyperchromatic Interstitium is a celebration of the uncertain in a playground of texture and color. Through textile based forms, corporeal forms emerge as objects of fascination and contemplation, calling out for connection. These objects are a reminder of the precious hidden layers that can emerge with curiosity and the willingness to change. 

Sarah Dexter is a fashion designer and multimedia artist based in Fairbanks, Alaska. After spending over a decade working in the medical field as an MRI technologist Sarah changed course to pursue her interest in fashion design. She graduated as the Valedictorian of the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, in 2021 with a BFA in Fashion Design. Upon returning to her hometown, Sarah began creating small-batch collections with a strong commitment to ethically made slow fashion. Sarah recently graduated with an MFA from the University of Alaska Fairbanks where she is expanded her artistic mediums. Through explorations in fiber arts and soft sculpture, Sarah examines growth as an unruly process of joy and damage, enacted through deconstructed corporeal forms. Sarah’s work has been recognized by such honors as the “Golden Shears Award” from Omaha Fashion Week and “Designer of the Year” from Alaska Fashion Week.

NORTH GALLERY
It’s just for lookin' through | Britt Humphrey

The work invites a viewer to consider the lenses they look through in life. Do you want to change the world or will you accommodate the world by changing yourself, it’s as easy as putting on eyeglasses. Britt challenges, cajoles, and commiserates with the viewer by offering a series of macroscopic, mostly transparent, mixed media paintings and sculptures. “Do you see what I see?”

Britt Humphrey is an artist and counselor. Her work is conceptual, multimedia, and (hopefully) thought provoking. Irreverence, metaphor, and aesthetics are her avenues of approach to viewer provocation. Britt graduated with a Master’s of Fine Arts in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2019 and has been a Licensed Counselor since 2003. Her pieces deliver the blunt and unsayable messages absent in a therapeutic context. She strongly believes agency in our own mind transforms experience. Through use of tacit knowledge, high context humor, and a twist on fine art expectations the viewer is invited to look closely, think deeply and make their own meaning and discourse. (and if you ask her about the works and the concepts, she'll tell you all about it!)
