Mark My Words brings together visual artists and writers in a collaborative exploration of creativity across mediums. Each artwork is paired with an original poem or prose piece, creating a dialogue where image and language reflect, challenge, and expand upon one another. This exhibition highlights the power of collaboration, offering audiences layered interpretations and deeper connections through the union of visual form and written word.

Nor There

Kader Gallery

Ciel Skål’s “Nor There” explores identity and generational trauma, reconciling her complex childhood with the pain of her matriarchal lineage. Viewed chronologically, the series traces a visual path toward hope – evolving from macabre, grasping figures to bodies held in gentle regard.

See What I See

Kader Gallery

Hinrichs provides a view of the changing urban landscape via photographs printed and displayed on silk panels. The marrying of digital photography with silk – an ancient fabric – provides an interesting counterpoint to this three-dimensional installation.

Portals

Kader Gallery

The art Julia Kemerer creates today began with a fleeting moment in 2023, when a large round mirror frame in her living room suddenly resembled the opening to a birdhouse. She imagined an enormous bird bursting through that opening into her space and was struck by a feeling of awe and wonder she couldn’t shake.

Confluence

Front Gallery

Jake Keeler’s work blends ink, pen, pencil, and acrylic on wood panels or paper. Influenced by sci-fi and fantasy art, heavy metal album covers, and counter-culture aesthetics, his imagery channels wonder, fear, thrill, and raw energy.

Echoes in Ink

Kader Gallery

This collaborative show features vintage textiles (some belonging to ancestors/relatives), replication of printed patterns and vintage forms through printmaking that capture, memorialize and value the past and those who have gone before them.
