Cheddar Island and the Shiny Moon | Tamara Wilson
The exhibition Cheddar Island and the Shiny Moon features wall hung and site specific artworks out of a variety of industrial and domestic materials, largely reclaimed, by Fairbanks based artist Tamara Wilson. Works explore ideas of material association and redefinition within our physical space, both present and cosmic.

North Gallery : Recent Works | John Coyne
The isolation and disconnection of the ongoing pandemic fueled my exploration of the natural environment. Observations of places without people in avoidance of physical contact created a space for meditation and introspection. The nightmarish anxiety found a home in the form of cast metal. Taken together, these works examine the complexity of serenity and chaos, and how they exist together.
