Sarah Tortora created “Excalibur,” an abstract rock-like formation built from mixed media. The work conjures ideas relating to the accumulation of time and nature, with the spiral suggesting an ammonite fossil or an hourglass spindle. While abstract, Tortora’s sculpture speak to aspects of nature and periods of remote geological time.

Maryam Amirayani’s new series of five still-life paintings of figurines of wild animals is entitled “Safari.” The development of human culture has a deep and irreversible impact on these animals and nature, and the artist questions what will continue there.
