We look to nature for the reminder that our experience is fluid and sensible in ways we will never understand. We take a step back to find that our growth comes in perfectly spaced increments. We need this, as we exist in the chaotic and exciting emotional present. We need objects and rituals that slow us down. This work is meant to be an anecdote to hurry and a halt to convenience. It’s meant to show us the peaceful ticking to a different clock that steadies and supports us.

Holiday Celebration & Second Saturday Gallery Reception:

December 9, 5pm-8pm

Mendocino Art Center hosts a free Second Saturday Artists Reception each month. Enjoy snacks and wine, and meet the exhibiting artists. December’s reception also serves as our Holiday Celebration and a thank you to the community for their continued support. Please join us for holiday cheer, hors d’oeuvres and wine, the Coast Carolers. Browse for great gift ideas in our Gallery Shop and December’s exhibitions.
