Spotlight Gallery

Heat-Seeking by Gabrielle Schenck

On display January 10 – March 2, 2025

Exhibit Details:
Gabrielle Schenck presents Heat-Seeking, in the Spotlight Gallery, where she reflects upon her exploration of the natural world and its intricate forms. Her work is formed by a deliberate process of layering and erasing gestural marks to create a surface tension that mirrors the continuous cycle of death and renewal. She portrays the haze of the organic structures that surround her, capturing the ephemeral feeling one senses when connecting with nature. From the colorways to the dimension of Schenck’s pieces, each element evokes a sense of vagueness, yet familiarity.
