Detrimorphose, by Heidi Fowler (Atrium Gallery)
In the exhibition “Detrimorphose,” Heidi Fowler depicts the power of brokenness and redemption through mixed media paintings. The artists bring together discarded materials (junk mail, plastic, rustic pieces, and old computer parts) in assemblages to inspire a greater consciousness and creativity towards the paraphernalia we would otherwise discard; exploring the tension between the beauty of creation and the priorities of man.
Rudimental, by Jackie Hoysted (Emerson Gallery)
Jackie Hoysted’s Rudimental is an interactive immersive installation that evokes ideas of nature in interconnectedness. Using simple geometrical elements to generate imagery, and meditative sounds the installation harks back to undervalued ancestral connections with the land, the planet, the universe. It is a call for mutual respect, reciprocity and recognition of our minuteness in the universe.
Crossing Culture, by Emon Surakitkoson (Emerson Gallery)
Crossing Culture features two recent bodies of work by Thai-American artist Emon Surakitkoson, a culmination of her professional journey over the past five years. Using multiple conjoined canvases and wood panel, Emon created works that use shape and composition to convey unity among their unique contributing parts. The individual pieces take on new meaning and value when seen as part of a collective. With her sculptural work Emon translates her voice into a new visual language. This collection as a whole is born from Emon’s personal and artistic growth, as she embraces the complexities of her cultural identity as an immigrant from Thailand in the United States.
MPA’s 2025 Spring Solo Exhibitions are funded in part by an ArtsFairfax Project Grant.
