Tour of Hemphill Artworks’ Exhibition
Opposing Forces
with artist Julie Wolfe
October 8, 11:00 am
This program is in-person and members-only
Please join us for a visit to Hemphill Artworks to tour the current exhibition Opposing Forces with artist Julie Wolfe. This in-person and members-only event will take place on October 8, 11:00am. Registration is limited to 25 people.
Julie Wolfe’s work is rooted in the practice of gathering images and data to explore the world around us and the inner world of the self. In Opposing Forces, Julie Wolfe continues this investigation of dichotomies in the natural and man-made worlds. By creating relationships between seemingly disparate elements, the artist asks viewers to ponder larger concepts of consciousness, perception, and their very existence within the expanding universe. Through this practice of seeking, Wolfe guides her audience toward a greater sense of meaning and order in an age that feels more like science fiction. Visual references and themes seen throughout the artist’s career are re-examined in this body of work and serve to build upon those concepts. Julie Wolfe creates a space for viewers to stretch their perceptions; to conquer the pressing question of existence while also acknowledging that ultimately, the universe defies reason.
Please register using the button below. You may register for up to two people. This program will reach capacity quickly, so please RSVP promptly.
The exhibition is on view until October 29. Further information is available here.
