SUMMARY:Time Capsule: Erin Hughes and Liz Rundorff Smith
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery presents Time Capsule\, an exhibition of work by Erin Hughes (Anderson\, S.C.) and Liz Rundorff Smith (Greenville\, S.C.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10am (EST) on Tuesday\, September 29 with an opening reception on Friday\, October 2 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM. \nErin Hughes received a BA in Biology from James Madison University and an MA in Science Education from Boston University. Hughes began working with film photography in high school and started painting in 2015. Always motivated to learn and further her technical proficiency\, she honed her skills in the encaustic and oil painting mediums under the tutelage of artists like Lisa Pressman\, Mark Russell\, and Jeffrey Hirst. Hughes explores the connection between beauty and loss in her work. \nFor Hughes\, the encaustic work included in the Time Capsule exhibition explores our limited ability to retain fleeting visual experiences in the natural world. Because we can only hold onto fragmented details of a landscape\, we ultimately experience a deep sense of loss as time passes and we lose clarity. With the passage of time\, the memory of a place is expressed in fading light\, deep shadow\, and the layered\, obscured textures of the wax itself. \nLiz Rundorff Smith received a BA in Studio Art with a concentration in sculpture from the College of Wooster in Wooster\, OH\, and an MFA in Painting from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She studied abroad at The Marchutz School of Painting in Aix-en-Provence\, France\, and the British Institute of Florence in Florence\, Italy and was later awarded a fellowship and residency at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections\, including the Marilyn Monroe Bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Sun City Showa Kinen Koen in Tachikawa\, Japan. \nIn Time Capsule\, Rundorff Smith confronts the feeling of loss that accompanies physical deterioration and the uncomfortable reality of existing in an aging body. She processes this vulnerability by gathering paper scraps left over from her templates of vessel forms\, transforming discarded remnants into entirely new\, hybrid structures. By recycling fragments of paper that would usually be thrown away\, she shows that time and experience are never truly wasted. Ultimately\, the work centers on rebuilding\, framing her change in creative process as a continuous journey rather than a break from the past.

SUMMARY:Here Today: Cassie Butcher and Jeremy Russell
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery presents Here Today an exhibition of work by Cassie Butcher (Asheville\, N.C.) and Jeremy Russell (Asheville\, N.C.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10am (EST) on Tuesday\, September 1 with an opening reception on Friday\, September 4 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM. \nCassie Butcher grew up in West Virginia and went to Berea College where she majored in Art and Psychology. Shortly after graduating\, she had the opportunity to go to the Penland School of Craft to study glaze chemistry. In March 2004\, Butcher was granted a resident artist position at Odyssey ClayWorks in Asheville\, N.C. where she continues to live and work today. She creates ceramic sculptures inspired by the way human beings relate to one another\, exploring human relationships and interactions. By stripping the figure of details that would lead to a specific identity\, she makes room for the viewer to create a personal reflective narrative and hopes to evoke a deeper sense of empathy. Butcher refers to these basic clay figures as “souls” because they touch on the essence of humanity\, rather than physical appearance or circumstance. In a world driven by individuality\, her sculptures remind viewers that we are not all that different at our core\, reconnecting us to each other through shared universal experience. For the exhibition Here Today\, the still\, contemplative nature of Cassie Butcher’s souls provides a moment of pause\, challenging viewers to fully enjoy and experience the moment they are currently in rather than rushing to the next thing. \nJeremy Russell\, an abstract expressionist landscape painter from Asheville\, N.C.\, received his BFA from the University of North Carolina\, Asheville. Prior to pursuing a full-time studio practice\, Russell established a robust technical foundation through his work as a muralist and a painter for theatrical sets\, cinematic productions\, and theme park attractions. His creative process investigates the inherent tension between chaos and structure. Russell’s landscape paintings dissolve the boundaries between abstract expressionism and tangible reality\, prioritizing the visceral sensation of a specific moment\, like the rush of a stream or the shift of light\, over a strictly representational rendering of the environment. In the Here Today exhibition Russell captures the experience of a specific\, passing moment by prioritizing the fleeting\, temporary nature of time\, light and feeling over static realism. By focusing on the movement of a stream or the shifting of light his paintings serve as a visual reminder of a precise time and place.

In March 2004\, Butcher was granted a resident artist position at Odyssey ClayWorks in Asheville\, N.C. where she continues to live and work today. She creates ceramic sculptures inspired by the way human beings relate to one another\, exploring human relationships and interactions. By stripping the figure of details that would lead to a specific identity\, she makes room for the viewer to create a personal reflective narrative and hopes to evoke a deeper sense of empathy. Butcher refers to these basic clay figures as “souls” because they touch on the essence of humanity\, rather than physical appearance or circumstance. In a world driven by individuality\, her sculptures remind viewers that we are not all that different at our core\, reconnecting us to each other through shared universal experience. For the exhibition Here Today\, the still\, contemplative nature of Cassie Butcher’s souls provides a moment of pause\, challenging viewers to fully enjoy and experience the moment they are currently in rather than rushing to the next thing. \nJeremy Russell\, an abstract expressionist landscape painter from Asheville\, N.C.\, received his BFA from the University of North Carolina\, Asheville. Prior to pursuing a full-time studio practice\, Russell established a robust technical foundation through his work as a muralist and a painter for theatrical sets\, cinematic productions\, and theme park attractions. His creative process investigates the inherent tension between chaos and structure. Russell’s landscape paintings dissolve the boundaries between abstract expressionism and tangible reality\, prioritizing the visceral sensation of a specific moment\, like the rush of a stream or the shift of light\, over a strictly representational rendering of the environment. In the Here Today exhibition Russell captures the experience of a specific\, passing moment by prioritizing the fleeting\, temporary nature of time\, light and feeling over static realism. By focusing on the movement of a stream or the shifting of light his paintings serve as a visual reminder of a precise time and place.

SUMMARY:Time Capsule: Erin Hughes and Liz Rundorff Smith
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery presents Time Capsule\, an exhibition of work by Erin Hughes (Anderson\, S.C.) and Liz Rundorff Smith (Greenville\, S.C.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10am (EST) on Tuesday\, September 29 with an opening reception on Friday\, October 2 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM. \nErin Hughes received a BA in Biology from James Madison University and an MA in Science Education from Boston University. Hughes began working with film photography in high school and started painting in 2015. Always motivated to learn and further her technical proficiency\, she honed her skills in the encaustic and oil painting mediums under the tutelage of artists like Lisa Pressman\, Mark Russell\, and Jeffrey Hirst. Hughes explores the connection between beauty and loss in her work. \nFor Hughes\, the encaustic work included in the Time Capsule exhibition explores our limited ability to retain fleeting visual experiences in the natural world. Because we can only hold onto fragmented details of a landscape\, we ultimately experience a deep sense of loss as time passes and we lose clarity. With the passage of time\, the memory of a place is expressed in fading light\, deep shadow\, and the layered\, obscured textures of the wax itself. \nLiz Rundorff Smith received a BA in Studio Art with a concentration in sculpture from the College of Wooster in Wooster\, OH\, and an MFA in Painting from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She studied abroad at The Marchutz School of Painting in Aix-en-Provence\, France\, and the British Institute of Florence in Florence\, Italy and was later awarded a fellowship and residency at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections\, including the Marilyn Monroe Bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Sun City Showa Kinen Koen in Tachikawa\, Japan. \nIn Time Capsule\, Rundorff Smith confronts the feeling of loss that accompanies physical deterioration and the uncomfortable reality of existing in an aging body. She processes this vulnerability by gathering paper scraps left over from her templates of vessel forms\, transforming discarded remnants into entirely new\, hybrid structures. By recycling fragments of paper that would usually be thrown away\, she shows that time and experience are never truly wasted. Ultimately\, the work centers on rebuilding\, framing her change in creative process as a continuous journey rather than a break from the past.

SUMMARY:Time Capsule: Erin Hughes and Liz Rundorff Smith
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery presents Time Capsule\, an exhibition of work by Erin Hughes (Anderson\, S.C.) and Liz Rundorff Smith (Greenville\, S.C.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10am (EST) on Tuesday\, September 29 with an opening reception on Friday\, October 2 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM. \nErin Hughes received a BA in Biology from James Madison University and an MA in Science Education from Boston University. Hughes began working with film photography in high school and started painting in 2015. Always motivated to learn and further her technical proficiency\, she honed her skills in the encaustic and oil painting mediums under the tutelage of artists like Lisa Pressman\, Mark Russell\, and Jeffrey Hirst. Hughes explores the connection between beauty and loss in her work. \nFor Hughes\, the encaustic work included in the Time Capsule exhibition explores our limited ability to retain fleeting visual experiences in the natural world. Because we can only hold onto fragmented details of a landscape\, we ultimately experience a deep sense of loss as time passes and we lose clarity. With the passage of time\, the memory of a place is expressed in fading light\, deep shadow\, and the layered\, obscured textures of the wax itself. \nLiz Rundorff Smith received a BA in Studio Art with a concentration in sculpture from the College of Wooster in Wooster\, OH\, and an MFA in Painting from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. She studied abroad at The Marchutz School of Painting in Aix-en-Provence\, France\, and the British Institute of Florence in Florence\, Italy and was later awarded a fellowship and residency at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Her work can be found in private and corporate collections\, including the Marilyn Monroe Bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Sun City Showa Kinen Koen in Tachikawa\, Japan. \nIn Time Capsule\, Rundorff Smith confronts the feeling of loss that accompanies physical deterioration and the uncomfortable reality of existing in an aging body. She processes this vulnerability by gathering paper scraps left over from her templates of vessel forms\, transforming discarded remnants into entirely new\, hybrid structures. By recycling fragments of paper that would usually be thrown away\, she shows that time and experience are never truly wasted. Ultimately\, the work centers on rebuilding\, framing her change in creative process as a continuous journey rather than a break from the past.

SUMMARY:Here Today: Cassie Butcher and Jeremy Russell
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery presents Here Today an exhibition of work by Cassie Butcher (Asheville\, N.C.) and Jeremy Russell (Asheville\, N.C.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10am (EST) on Tuesday\, September 1 with an opening reception on Friday\, September 4 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM. \nCassie Butcher grew up in West Virginia and went to Berea College where she majored in Art and Psychology. Shortly after graduating\, she had the opportunity to go to the Penland School of Craft to study glaze chemistry. In March 2004\, Butcher was granted a resident artist position at Odyssey ClayWorks in Asheville\, N.C. where she continues to live and work today. She creates ceramic sculptures inspired by the way human beings relate to one another\, exploring human relationships and interactions. By stripping the figure of details that would lead to a specific identity\, she makes room for the viewer to create a personal reflective narrative and hopes to evoke a deeper sense of empathy. Butcher refers to these basic clay figures as “souls” because they touch on the essence of humanity\, rather than physical appearance or circumstance. In a world driven by individuality\, her sculptures remind viewers that we are not all that different at our core\, reconnecting us to each other through shared universal experience. For the exhibition Here Today\, the still\, contemplative nature of Cassie Butcher’s souls provides a moment of pause\, challenging viewers to fully enjoy and experience the moment they are currently in rather than rushing to the next thing. \nJeremy Russell\, an abstract expressionist landscape painter from Asheville\, N.C.\, received his BFA from the University of North Carolina\, Asheville. Prior to pursuing a full-time studio practice\, Russell established a robust technical foundation through his work as a muralist and a painter for theatrical sets\, cinematic productions\, and theme park attractions. His creative process investigates the inherent tension between chaos and structure. Russell’s landscape paintings dissolve the boundaries between abstract expressionism and tangible reality\, prioritizing the visceral sensation of a specific moment\, like the rush of a stream or the shift of light\, over a strictly representational rendering of the environment. In the Here Today exhibition Russell captures the experience of a specific\, passing moment by prioritizing the fleeting\, temporary nature of time\, light and feeling over static realism. By focusing on the movement of a stream or the shifting of light his paintings serve as a visual reminder of a precise time and place.

Her work can be found in private and corporate collections\, including the Marilyn Monroe Bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Sun City Showa Kinen Koen in Tachikawa\, Japan. \nIn Time Capsule\, Rundorff Smith confronts the feeling of loss that accompanies physical deterioration and the uncomfortable reality of existing in an aging body. She processes this vulnerability by gathering paper scraps left over from her templates of vessel forms\, transforming discarded remnants into entirely new\, hybrid structures. By recycling fragments of paper that would usually be thrown away\, she shows that time and experience are never truly wasted. Ultimately\, the work centers on rebuilding\, framing her change in creative process as a continuous journey rather than a break from the past.
