Fractured Land / Fractured Narratives brings together artists exploring rupture in landscape and meaning. From fault lines to fragmented histories, the exhibition pairs each artist’s work with a
provocative question: is the abstract landscape driven by formal choices or metaphor? Their responses—embracing, resisting, or complicating the binary—create a layered dialogue, revealing how visual anguage and lived experience intersect, collide, and break apart. Featuring art by Shelly Coleman, Micah Henrie, Tyler Tāne Huntzinger, Aaron Cordell Johnson, David Mensing, Matt Pectol, Barry Scharf, and Steve Sheffield.
