TWIN VISIONS | SEAN EAVES
Open Space Gallery
On view: October 1 – November 7, 2024 (while classes are in session or by appointment)
Reception: Thursday, October 24, 2024, 5-7 p.m.
Twin Visions is a solo show of double exposure photographs by Sean Eaves (SUNY Oneonta ‘25) selected from the Gallery’s semesterly Project Open Call. By digitally manipulating and overlaying two different photographs, Eaves has created a series of hauntingly familiar black and white images where the viewer often feels off-balance or unsure and is consistently left with the need to look deeper, both to pull apart the two images in their mind and to untangle the perceived meaning of their combined composition. The main objective of this work is to show that even though daily life may seem boring at times, there is always something beautiful to be seen if you’re looking. Through this exhibition, Eaves hopes to show a new perspective on how people view the world around them, bringing two aspects of life together to create something whole and beautiful—two moments in time forever intertwined.

UNDOINGS | ANNA WARFIELD
Martin-Mullen Art Gallery
On view: August 20 - October 4, 2024 (while classes are in session or by appointment)
Reception: Thursday, September 12, 5-7 p.m.
UNDOINGS is a solo exhibition by Binghamton-based artist Anna Warfield (she/they) featuring her fabric sculptures, artist books, and drawings. Their work, both in its physical presentation and the original poetry, engages with ideas related to the body, re-learning, and identity. At first blush, the viewer is lulled into an easy assumption of femininity. The extremely touchable bubble letters, in pastel shades of pink and blue, are intentionally aligned with dated ideas of what a woman “should” be: soft, pliable, gentle. But if you take a closer look, you’ll see that this assumption is not reality. This show demands an active presence and critical thinking; use this opportunity to reassess your assumptions and allow the artist to reframe your perspective.

This series is about the stories we extract from our experiences with nature and the many hidden components that make up the visions of wonder that can be found in the woods. It’s a story that represents something special to every viewer and can never be told the same way twice. With this exhibition, Williams seeks to share her fascination with exploring the wilderness and her countless memories of exciting finds and inspiring sights. A good adventure into the wilderness is made by how we share the passion it inspires within us.
