Into the Singularity
Tom Block
May 3 – 31 (The F&M Gallery)
Reception:  Saturday, May 3, 3-5 PM
This very large (24 panels measuring 6 x 72 feet) painting is Block’s exploration of the human attempt to make sense of the world and of our shared struggle to develop and live by a moral code.  His hope is that his art will have an activist influence, causing viewers to question their own roles in making the world a better place to live.

Transplant
Ellen Hill and Carien Quiroga
May 3 – 31 (The Kline Gallery)
Reception:  Saturday, May 3, 3-5 PM
This collaborative installation consists of sewn and embellished paper torsos rising from the “earth” in rows.  Quiroga, whose background is in sculpture, uses natural and found objects.  Hill’s background is in two-dimensional media, with emphasis on paper pulp painting. Quiroga and Hill, both “transplants” to the region, deal with the idea of transplanting on both a universal and personal level.
