SUMMARY:The Mill Yard at Stonebridge Lofts Art Exhibit announces a new exhibit.
DESCRIPTION:Spiral by Mary Simon-Casati \n“Infinite Abyss In Motion” \nOpening Reception Sunday\, April 28\,  2:00 to 5:00PM\nExhibition dates April 28 – June 30\, 2019 \nInfinite Abyss in Motion is at the intersection of Art and Science. While science seeks to understand the natural world in which we live and beyond into the furthest infinity of space or the tiniest unseen particles in front of us\, what it cannot with certainty tell us is what the particles look like.  This is where artists step in to imagine\, and then visually create\, what many of our world’s mysteries might look like. \nInfinite Abyss in Motion imagines the “out there” question from the perspective of two artists – for Mary Simon-Casati\, the infinite physical abyss\, and for Jenna Murphy\, the digital abyss in the infinite possibilities. Mary paints what she imagines particles might look like and how they might move and sweep across a canvas\, visibly playing with the idea of an abyss that goes on and on into infinity. She strives to make the unseen not only visible\, but also felt through its movement.\nJenna’s digital compositions feature organic shapes that appear to dance\, allowing a snapshot\, and one of an infinite number of iterations\, of the motion within the infinite abyss; an unseen world discovered. \n Artists featured at the new show:\nMary Simon-Casati\nJenna Murphy\nOpening Reception Only:  Brett Freund \nMore Information:\nFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/TheMillYardatStonebridgeLofts\nTwitter:  https://twitter.com/TheMillYardMpls \nThe Mill Yard at Stonebridge Lofts \nThe Mill City. Residents celebrate our area’s industrial heritage of the mighty Mississippi River and the mills. Today\, what we see are the most recognizable Minneapolis landmarks. However\, this is only part of the story. Rail lines were key to Minneapolis’ growth\, and were particularly integral to the Mill District\, bringing in wheat and timber and shipping out flour and lumber. We also honor the history of the mills\, the reason for the rail yard’s existence.  The Mill Yard aims to be both a gathering place for art and artists and a conduit by which art can be shared with and disseminated into the wider community. \nThe Mill Yard at Stonebridge Lofts thanks Luke Kleckner\, Condo Development and Sales\, for his generous sponsorship. \nContact us at: TheMillYard.Stonebridge@gmail.com \nGALLERY AND ARTIST DETAILS: \nMary Simon-Casati \nMary Simon-Casati earned a BS degree in Art Ed from the U of MN and a Master of Arts in Human Development from St. Mary’s College.  After a successful career teaching art\, she resumed making art as a painter/installation artist.  Simon-Casati is a recipient of an Artist Initiative Grant from the State of Minnesota.  Her current body of work is about energy\, specifically particle physics.   Her mixed-media installations play with light and shadow and include 3-dimensional objects\, paintings and drawings as components of an immersive experience. \n“I want to explore what science tells us about how the universe works.  How is it that the universe is made of particles I can’t see?  Working within the tradition of abstract painting and using black/white colors\, I create paintings that are experiments-imaginings of how particles move and what they might look like.  I visually play with the idea of infinity-making the unseen visible through my art.” \nVisit: www.mscasati.com\nEmail: mscasati@comcast.net\nFacebook:  marysimoncasatiart.com\nInstagram:  @mscasati \nJenna Murphy \nJenna Murphy\, a Minneapolis based artist\, has been exploring what a contemporary drawing can be in today’s digital age. With a background in Intaglio printmaking and drawing\, Jenna’s recent work aims to discover similar tactile qualities through computer code generated images. Following a degree in Studio Arts at Hamline University\, Jenna went on to study Interactive Design at MCAD. It was during this time that Jenna was first introduced to p5.js\, a client-side JavaScript library. P5.js helped facilitate an experimental interaction with the computer\, allowing Jenna the freedom to move away from traditional subject matter and explore abstract shapes and concepts. Through iteration\, the shapes multiply\, shift and move across the piece. Continued experimentation reveals a balanced composition; one of an infinite number just waiting to be found in the digital abyss. \n“My final compositions feature organic shapes that appear to dance across the pieces\, allowing the viewer a glimpse of the motion within the infinite abyss; an unseen world\, discovered.” \n \nSketch9 \nWeb site: https://www.velvetblackpixel.com\nInstagram: www.instagram.com/velvetblackpixel \nBrett Freund \n“When working I think about my own definitions of preciousness and value. How does an object qualify itself as being important? Is what I’m after rare like a diamond\, does it take time to grow like a crystal or is it a symbol that references a status or identity? Most importantly\, how can I scrutinize hierarchies without undermining the possibility of growing in my craft? My work starts with prototypes designed from hand building\, wheel throwing\, and 3D printed clay. These components are a library of forms I pull from\, making new combinations and discoveries as I piece slip cast parts together intuitively. I’m attracted to techniques associated with the industrial process and mass repetition but each piece I make is arranged so that no piece is ever exactly the same as another. This process puts a filter between the material and myself.” \n \nGem Vase \nWeb site: brettfreundportfolio.com\nInstagram: bfreundly \n

However\, this is only part of the story. Rail lines were key to Minneapolis’ growth\, and were particularly integral to the Mill District\, bringing in wheat and timber and shipping out flour and lumber. We also honor the history of the mills\, the reason for the rail yard’s existence.  The Mill Yard aims to be both a gathering place for art and artists and a conduit by which art can be shared with and disseminated into the wider community. \nThe Mill Yard at Stonebridge Lofts thanks Luke Kleckner\, Condo Development and Sales\, for his generous sponsorship. \nContact us at: \nTheMillYard.Stonebridge@gmail.com \nGALLERY AND ARTIST DETAILS: \nJack Dale \nJack Dale was born in St. Paul\, MN and has made his home here for all but 3 years. He grew up in St. Paul and attended the University of Minnesota on a hockey scholarship. He played on the 1968 U.S. Olympic Hockey team and three years as a professional before suffering a career-ending knee injury. He turned his attention to art\, which he had studied in college\, and has been a painter for over 40 years. He was a member of Groveland Gallery in the early eighties when he was doing mostly landscape work and is very pleased to be represented by the Veronique Wantz Gallery today. Jack has had numerous solo and group shows and his paintings have been collected all over the country. His abstract expressionistic paintings are known not for the images that are represented\, but for the emotions that they evoke. It is in this sensorial space where intuition takes over\, and the viewer finds a place to engage on a deeply personal and powerful level. “As a mark-maker the paint carries me on a journey of understanding: allowing me to make sense of the world around me and vocalizing feelings that can’t always be easily explained.” \nNatural Echo\, oil on canvas\nWeb site:  www.jackdalefineart.com \nAllison Johanson \nAllison Johanson is a contemporary painter from Saint Paul. She grew up near the north shore of Lake Superior and enjoys referencing the vastness of the lake and sky as well as the nostalgia she feels about her rural upbringing. Allison’s abstract landscapes are rooted in the beauty found in the natural world\, and they speak about the mystery found in distant horizons. Her intuitive painting style yields soft and immersive works that create feelings of connectedness.  “I love to create paintings that subtly engage and communicate a quiet mood yet provide interest upon closer observation. Seeing the artist in the textures\, brush strokes and mark making is what excites me most about original art.” \nBig Lake Swells\, acrylic on canvas\nWeb site: https://allisonjohanson.com; Instagram: @allisonjohansonart \nSamuel Johnson \nSamuel Johnson was born on the Eastern prairie of the Red River Valley. He studied painting and ceramics at the University of Minnesota at Morris\, serving an apprenticeship in pottery under Richard Bresnahan. He has been a guest of Denmark’s Design School in Copenhagen\, worked in a studio in New York\, and traveled to Japan as a guest of Koie Ryoji. In 2005\, Johnson earned graduate degrees in fine art from the University of Iowa. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University in Central Minnesota. Johnson’s work reflects today’s malleable socio-political climate through both the process of shaping wet clay and its transformation through fire. As raw unglazed vessels are fired in a kiln\, each are marked by wood\, heat\, melting ash and charcoal resulting in a somber patina of natural hues and irregular textures. The work is intended to be mysterious and enigmatic in ways that feel familiar.  “My work strikes a balance between the wild and mysterious character of ourselves and that part of our psyche that sets us apart from it\, containing contradictory elements that provoke a sense of mystery and gravitas and suggest those aspects of our nature that is just on the other side of consciousness.” \nVessels\, wood fired stoneware\nWeb site: www.samuel-johnson.com; Facebook: www.facebook.com/samueljohnsonpottery; Instagram:  @samueljohnsonpottery \nEleanor McGough \nEleanor McGough grew up in the Pacific Northwest and graduated from Kansas City Art Institute. She also studied at the Polytechnic in Brighton\, England. She is the recipient of two Minnesota State Arts Board Grants and a Bemis Foundation residency. McGough’s paintings explore our fleeting place in the vast patterns of weather\, migrations\, and time. Imagined life forms inhabit terrestrial\, aquatic\, or atmospheric spaces\, revealing fragile and tenuous relationships within these complex systems. She is influenced by the research of high altitude entomology that details the astonishing fact that billions of insects are carried in air currents through the layers of our atmosphere. This idea serves as a visual metaphor to the broader context that all life is transitory and swept up in immense patterns of energy.  “I am drawn to insects for their metamorphosis and find hope in the idea that transformation is an enduring possibility and cause for optimism as life on our planet evolves.” \nPerilous Passage\, acrylic on board\nWeb site: www.eleanormcgough.com; Instagram:  @eleanormcgough \nWendy Westlake \nWendy Westlake was born in Washington state. She earned an Associate Degree in Applied Art from Pima College in Tuscon AZ\, where she studied a wide range of media including oils\, printmaking and ceramics. Upon moving back to MN in 1992\, Wendy connected with the watercolor community in the Twin Cities area. She became a Board Member of the Minnesota Watercolor Society in 2012 eventually becoming MNWS President from 2014-2016. A desire to work on a larger scale than paper would allow pulled Wendy back to her earlier training with acrylic and oils. Her work is influenced by her background in watercolor as well as the tradition of American Abstract Expressionism.  Wendy’s poignant graphical forms bring order within a place of chaos: shapes overlap and interconnect\, with redacted and transparent elements changing our view. Her paintings expand on the idea that everything is connected and questions the way in which we read the truth. “I begin by flinging paint on canvas with great abandon and then search for order in the chaos\, highlighting some shapes while losing others\, defining and editing\, pushing toward resolution.” \nSet A Guard Over My Mouth\, acrylic on canvas\nWeb site: www.wendywestlake.com; Facebook:  www.facebook.com/WendyWestlakeStudios; Instagram: @wendywestlakestudio \n

The sun was spellbinding on the earth.” \nRichard James Nelson\, “My woodblock prints are inspired by the Inuit and Japanese printmaking and echo the spiritualness of nature.” \nJulie Carson\, “On any given day\, you will find me scouring the ground looking for objects\, patterns and colors to photograph. Photography captures and holds the moment to draw upon later.  No matter where I go\, I find ideas in a rusted trash can\, leaf or  flower.”  \nMarilyn Cuellar\, “I find my vision in the details of life. My art brings out the subtle details in its subjects\, creating a picture of life more particular than the fleeting glance with which we normally look at the world. “  \nErnest Miller\, “As a maker\, inspiration comes from field landscape\, farm implements\, and architectural features such as barns found in the Midwest as starting points for ceramic vessels and glaze surfaces. Observations of source material may be interpreted literally or sometimes abstracted using elements to complement functional or sculptural forms.” \nNick Earl\, “I am continually fascinated by the softness and reception of the clay from which my pots are made. These qualities translate into the finished pieces\, objects that will hopefully enrich the regular ceremonies of life. I have a strong interest in art history and I try to exhibit the strength and beauty I see in old pots in my own work.” \nAudra Smith\, “My goal is to make well-made\, utilitarian pottery. I continually explore color\, pattern\, space\, and shape in the surface decoration\, all of which inform the ongoing discovery of my personal language as a ceramic artist.” \n
