“BEFORE IT’S GONE, Views of a World in Flux,” - Jay Hart and Ed Brothers

Show dates: November 4-28, 2021, with a reception Friday, Novem-ber 5, 5-8pm—contingent on COVID protocols.

“BEFORE IT’S GONE, Views of a World in Flux,” is a two-person show of work by Jay Hart and Ed Brothers in both galleries at State of the Art. Hart shows digital geographic renderings and says: "My work is a sam-pling of ice-bound geography in various states of change. I hope the trip around the planet will refresh the visitor to the timeliness of climate awareness, beyond the obligatory melting features of our news media." Brothers’s oil pastels—both recent and older--illustrate unique moments he "initially captured in photographs and then savored in the painting creation process."

He says: “We have to deeply appreciate this reality so we may act to conserve what may be lost.”S 120 W Martin Luther King, Jr./State St, ADA accessibility with curbside parking. The gallery follows NY State and Tompkins County COVID protocols.

Yen Ospina

Yen Ospina is a Queer Colombian-American self-taught artist and illus-trator depicting her own interpretation of folk and art nouveau. Through earth tone colors, ornamental layouts, and meticulous detail, the work challenges viewers to delve beyond aesthetic allure and allow mysticism to guide their interpretation. Her work is influenced by years of exposing herself to antique art (such as Gustav Klimt & Alphonse Mucha), furniture, and literature.

In addition to creating gallery pieces, Yen is a local muralist See a direc-tory of Ithaca Murals by Yen and others at ithacamurals.com

Rachel Feirman – Recent works  Rachel Feirman is a traditional and digital artist, as well as a circus teach-er at Circus Culture in Ithaca, NY. Rachel’s motivation for her art is to make a connection with you, the viewer! As well as the idea that offering a piece of art created with her own vision and life experiences in mind can be interpreted differently and even evoke new memories or emo-tions for others.

8. Serendipity205 N Aurora St.

Embellished Global Textiles and Accessories curated by Liz Hollo-way

As an international folk dancer, and seamstress I have always been inter-ested in fabric design, texture and embellishments. With immigration to the US by Individuals from around the world, we have an opportunity to see examples of both traditional costume pieces and present day garments. The items available to me include India, Pakistan, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the US. Similarities are obvious in both em-broidery and beading.

We are indeed lucky to have such a wealth of fabric Embellishment for both every day wear and special occasion clothing. Though many coun-tries continue to wear traditional 'costume' on a more regular basis, the ' western' dress has been adopted worldwide. We can hope that items of an almost antique nature will thus be preserved.

9. Your CBD Store308 E. Seneca St. | cbdrx4u.com

Louisa Sandvik - Recent Works Louisa Sandvik is an artist specializing in watercolor, portraiture, and illus-tration. She has a BA in Visual and Fine Arts and more than 20 years of experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels. The First Cast by Phil Genova and Statistics 11 by Martin Sternstein feature her illustra-tion work, and she is a member of the National Guild and Finger Lakes Guild of Natural Science Illustrators. She has collaborated on community murals including the 1st St Mosaic Mural Project and the Mosaic Mural at the new Finger Lakes Independence Center building.

Sandvik states "For me, art is about seeing. I look at my surroundings and find an element that excites me. I study it, draw it, sometimes pho-tograph it, to describe it to others. My artistic vision is to create images that reveal the beauty of life in all forms: faces, flora and fauna, celebrat-ing the diversity of the natural world. My inspiration is the human form, the forest, the fields, the sky and the sea".

Gaia’s work seeks to imbue others with a richer understanding of the natural world.

12. Community School of Music and Arts330 E State St. https://csma-ithaca.org/

El Vacío de la Memoria / The Vacuum of MemoryWorks by Pedro Molina and Marilyn Boror Bor, curated by Paulina Velázquez Solís At 6:30 PM join us for a conversatorio/ conversation among the artists and curator, in Spanish with some English interpreting. The tragic erasure of cultural roots and political views is part of the power dynamics, violence, and metamorphosis that the Mesoamerican region has experienced through colonization and struggles against dictator-ships and civil wars. This exhibition features works by two artists from the Central American isthmus, a region particularly tender from these experi-ences and the consequences of geopolitical interests. Pedro Molina from Nicaragua evokes the weight of the effects of the Sandinista revolution gone wrong, loss of life, and his experience as an exile. Marilyn Boror Bor from Guatemala documents Kaqchikel words and objects that have been marginalized for centuries but still make their way into contemporary life.

Presented at the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA) by Cultu-ra Ithaca and the Latino Civic Association of Tompkins County for Latinx Heritage Month.

15. Sue Hertz Fine ArtFirst Floor, 215 N. Cayuga St. | Dewitt Mall, upstairs from Moosewood

This Gallery requires all patrons to wear masks, regardless of vaccination status.

Sue Hertz - “Here and There”

Sue Hertz’s art space has four rooms adorned with paintings depict-ing local scenes as well as scenes from her travels in the U.S. and abroad. Also displayed is a series of photographs of Cayuga Lake that were all shot from the same location but look remarkably distinct from one another. Water is featured in many of the works, as Sue is fascinated by its ever-changing interplay of colors, textures, and movements. Sue’s art space is also where, in her other life, she carries out her speech synthesis endeavors. She is intrigued by the similarities in how humans perceive the visual and auditory world around them, and she strives in both of her endeavors to create the appropriate cues (contrasts, intensities, etc.) to effectively render her intent, be it in the form of a painting or a synthetic utterance. www.suehertzfineart.com
