When Clay Meets Cosmos and Quantum Dots Paint the Pacific
Tiny galleries are making big waves this December, offering art that blurs the line between earthbound tradition and cosmic imagination. In "Earendal," ceramics mimic both mountain ridges and swirling galaxies, with palm-sized wall pieces and spiky totems that seem to sprout from the ocean floor or distant planets. Spanish pottery influences peek through, grounding the celestial with centuries-old craft.
Across the globe, "Meet Us at the Wave Function" in Stockholm turns quantum mechanics into visual poetry. Canvases ripple with dots of correction fluid, echoing the Pacific Northwest’s landscapes while hinting at the strange dance of subatomic particles.
Meanwhile, Goya’s shadowy prints haunt new drawings, where beauty and darkness entwine—owls, bats, and cats emerge from the gloom, channeling old masters through a modern lens.
And in New Mexico, speculative fiction leaps off the page and onto the walls, as artists imagine futures built on regeneration, not ruin. In these shows, tradition and innovation orbit each other, proving that even the smallest galleries can hold entire worlds.
