Inspired by the joy, sensibility, and humanism of mid-century modern designer Alexander Girard, this exhibition carries forward the idea that rest is an inherently vital act. Artist Erik Benjamins, in collaboration with Shannon Finnegan, Lauren Godfrey, and Norma, creates an inviting and thoughtful environment that welcomes viewers to contemplate how sensory engagement and slowness manifest in daily life. Open by appointment. ------------------------------ Grounded in the power of smallness, the in Small Is Beautiful explore how small-scale artworks and objects can be as striking and impactful as large, epic-scale works. This rumination on the power of the seemingly minuscule, addressed by each exhibiting artist through a myriad of themes and styles, aims to create a broader conversation around complex and universal themes including the human condition, the ecology, and Western history.
