A Personal Ecology | March 6, 2026 – April 25, 2026

Key Dates:
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6 | 5:30 – 7pm
Artist Talk: Tuesday, March 17 | 5:30 – 7pm
Family Workshop: Still Life with Louisa Bermingham: Saturday, March 14 | 10am -12pm

Opening on Friday, March 6, A Personal Ecology will present a collection of paintings within an expanded installation featuring driftwood, suspended branches, shelves, and handmade objects, such as ceramics, sewn forms, and decorative ephemera. These elements create spatial arrangements that highlight, amongst other things, interconnectedness and impermanence. Together, the works form a personal ecology, an environment shaped by observation, care, and reflection, noticed along the way.

Artist Statement:

My work emerges from my journey through life, shaped by what I encounter. Sometimes it takes the form of direct observation, impressions gathered as I move through my community. At other times, it becomes an emotional investigation of personal experience, translated through visual references such as plants, places, and collected objects. Recently, I have been incorporating personally important imagery onto pots and containers of botanicals, along with background references that sometimes appear as repeated patterns. These additions tell emotional stories, reflecting a sense of belonging to our Bermudian culture, recalling quiet or intimate places, or confronting and acknowledging personal trauma and its effects.
