THROUGH A NARROW WINDOW
OCTOBER 31 - DECEMBER 19, 2025
Through a Narrow Window features the work of Sue Hettmansperger, Lilly McElroy, and sTo Len. Spanning painting, photography, video, and printmaking, the exhibition reveals three artists’ approaches to working through topics surrounding the environmental crisis, and a pervasive sense of tension in the face of climate change. Each of the artists takes a deeply personal approach to this immense and widespread issue and use their studio practices to metabolize the blows that can be felt within the scale of individual experience.
The artists in the exhibition ultimately seek to ask questions and find agency as contemporary humans. What does it mean to respond, what is a suitable response, how might I use my knowledge, craft, and experiences to suitably address such expansive and insurmountable destruction? For the viewer, the work offers methodologies for fine-tuning one’s awareness, remaining engaged, coping, and resistance. Emerging from a small fissure in the systemic climate issues before us, the exhibition also extends a ray of hope, in which the entire universe can be found.
