2000 Journals: Filling the Void | Diane Dunn
Diane Dunn's exhibition features 2000 handmade journals and invites viewers to engage in the creative process by writing in them; filling the void. Created with obsessional focus, this exhibition is the result of a year-long project. The monoprinted cover images form a visual journal, reflecting the range of emotions and experiences called upon for inspiration.
Performance: Diane will be present and journaling during regular gallery hours for the duration of her exhibition. You are invited to read her journal entries as she writes them.

For Your Comfort | Ethan/Kayaaní J Lauesen
Ethan/Kayaaní J Lauesen is a visual artist based in Fairbanks, Alaska. They earned their Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2019. Their body of work focuses on their Denaakk’e Koyukon Athabaskan and Lingit cultural backgrounds, their queer identity, and how they are perceived in Alaskan communities. The prints, paintings, and drawings they produce are an intimate response to public perceptions of themselves due to inter-sectional issues of race, gender, and sexuality; encapsulating their personal narrative and experiences documenting cultural change.
