Stephen Estrada, Abby Kasonik,

Hannele Lahti, Eve Stockton, and Thomas Teasley

June 4 - July 19, 2015

Opening Reception Sunday, June 7, 4 - 6 pm

Tom Teasley: Sonic Saturation, Saturday, July 9, 7 pm, $15

The works in Saturate represent a variety of media including paint, woodblock prints, photography and video. Each artist takes a unique path to expressing him or herself - but all join together in giving the viewer the sensation of being near something very wet. The exhibit is made possible by the generous sponsorship of TTR | Sotheby's International Realty.

On July 9 at 7 pm Award winning multimedia/instrumentalist artist Tom Teasley will explore sound as manipulated, inspired and created with water. This one-time installation will include prerecorded ambient sound combined with live performance on instruments including Aquasonic, Water gong, Water bell, Water drum, tea pot, milk frother, electronic percussion, flutes and ancient drums.
