A story about ephemerality. Featuring new work by Emelie Richardson. These handwoven works exist as collaborations across collective histories—past, present, future—always shifting. Materials carry embedded histories just as a seed carries a genetic forecast, dwelling in possibility. A fleeting form exists within a fleeting moment—blurry, hazy, indistinct—never to be perfectly repeated or mirrored. Yet these vanishing moments leave a lingering trace, an imprint. They endure and replenish through a continuous process of becoming and mutability. These weavings offer a place to rest with the ephemeral.

A story about what's left behind. Featuring new work by visiting multimedia artist Matthew Allen and Taos-based ceramics artist Logan Wannamaker. Whether fleeting or felt for decades, some experiences linger long after they end. In a collection of hand-carved block prints, Allen's impressions of his time in Santa Fe read like a field study. A fresh visual language of mountain ranges and high desert flora are pressed into natural fibers for safekeeping. Wannamaker's reverent forms are informed by a long-running dialogue with the land. His wood kiln houses a collection of artifacts mined from the depths; when the fire goes out he's left with ash and a treasure trove.

Coinciding with Impressions, Logan Wannamaker will be transforming our gift shop space into a ceramics gallery, offering an array of functional and fine art pieces. The curation will feature wood-fired works by Logan and several of his apprentices, including Bina Ceramics, Nicole Bethune, Turiya Gross Ceramics, Mike Francoeur, and Sara Jensen. The pop-up will launch at the Impressions opening.

The opening will feature sweet treats from Manon Pierme and a special cacao offering from Giulia Garofalo and Sam Combs of Dragon Chocolate, served from Wannamaker’s earthy vessels.

A story about gaining clarity. Featuring new work by earth-pigment painter Ryan Snow and blown glass vessels by multi-disciplinary artist Rebecca Mapes. Constructs are examined, embraced, and reimagined. Form and space converse with light. Mediums harmonize and transmit calibration, allowing access to a more enlightened way of seeing. Through physical dialogue with materials that carry their own internal logic, or a message channelled from the field, we’re inspired to listen and respond. In doing so, we find something more honest and true to nature.

Applying pigment to canvas, Sao builds homes for these invisible elements, holding space for deeply personal and collective contemplation.

A story about intuitive pathways. Featuring new work by Emelie Richardson. In these woven paintings, the formalism inherent to weaving is juxtaposed with intuitive mark-making. The underlying order of the warp and weft create a fundamental structure; a grid. Freeform patterns are painted in layers, loosely referencing the tidy framework and repetition of plainweave while simultaneously placing value on instinctual play, unpredictability, and inconsistency. The painted forms are organized but not orderly, intentionally embracing chance and lack of control, each layer a new perspective. Dimensionality emerges as the painted warp morphs, blurs, and dissolves into the weaving.

A story about listening. Featuring new work by multidisciplinary artists, Lindsey Calla and Anna Sheffield. This show is inspired by the earth's ability to speak to us through stone and the chromatic stories erosion gives us in the sunbaked hills of the Southwest. In ancient times, the dirt of the earth, the layers hidden beneath, were associated with dreams, healing, and artistic inspiration. Soft explorations in color and abstract form expose the stories of the earth's past. Through mediums of clay, fine metals, gemstones, and smoke, this intention is further explored, evoking a time of the great oracles who read the signs of the earth as prophecies.

Anna Sheffield Jewelry trunk show - one night only!

Natural wine and small bites provided by La Mama.
