Catherine Eaton Skinner show
Artist Catherine Eaton Skinner’s work centers on the balance of opposites and the systems and patterns we construct to give order to our world. Her latest solo exhibition, The Earth is the Magnet of the Sky, is being held at Step Up Gallery in Los Alamos, New Mexico, through July 24. “The natural world holds an immense, intrinsic energy—an ancient equilibrium that sustains life. The historical reverence for this power and the recognition of Earth’s sacredness spans the timeline of humanity’s memory,” Skinner explains of her new body of work. “Staying connected to nature, each other and ourselves has never felt more challenging. Through my work, I explore these connections, hoping to deepen our bond with the environment and, above all, our understanding of one another.”

Nature as Muse
The Brandywine Museum of Art is currently hosting the exhibition This Earthen Door: Nature as Muse and Material. This immersive, nature-focused exhibition is the culmination of an almost five-year project from artists Amanda Marchand and Leah Sobsey. Combining natural materials with historical and contemporary photographic processes and inspired by a book of pressed flowers created by Emily Dickinson in the mid-19th century, Marchand and Sobsey utilized pure pigments extracted from flowers to make a vibrant series of plant-based artworks. The resulting exhibition is a kaleidoscope of colors comprising over 50 works, including two site-specific commissions. This Earthen Door will be on view through September 7. —
