My work continues this tradition while speaking to contemporary concerns about presence and interaction. I rely on formal content – the meaning extends from color relationships and mark-making\, while engaging with feminist art’s tradition of challenging hierarchical distinctions between abstract and embodied experience. \nWhile the forms in my paintings and sculpture often echo natural and floral shapes\, they deliberately play with and subvert traditionally ‘feminine’ imagery. My sinuous lines and flower-like forms are exaggerated and transformed into something more ambiguous and challenging – sometimes even unsettling. My work takes stereotypically ‘feminine’ organic shapes and makes them monumental\, unavoidable\, and slightly alien. These forms don’t politely decorate – they command space and demand engagement. \nMy recent work explores the choreography of pattern and void. The pieces float and interact like notes in a visual score\, creating rhythms through both color and shape. While I embrace traditionally ‘feminine’ colors like pink\, I deliberately disrupt their sweetness by introducing structural elements and unexpected color combinations. The negative spaces become as important as the forms themselves\, turning the white wall into an active participant in the composition. This interplay between structure and fluidity\, presence and absence\, reflects my interest in how ‘feminine’ imagery can be both acknowledged and challenged within the same piece. \n \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				My early training in dance continues to influence how I think about space\, movement\, and the body’s relationship to its position. Each installation becomes a kind of choreographed environment where forms perform in space\, creating temporal experiences that unfold as viewers move through them. The suspended pieces in particular engage in a slow dance with gravity\, while their shadows create an ever-changing performance on walls and floors. This understanding of movement and spatial relationships informs everything from my initial drawings to final installation decisions. \nBio\nAdria Arch is a mixed media artist living and working in Arlington\, Massachusetts. She is interested in creating immersive experiences with sculpture and paint\, using hand-cut or laser-cut lightweight polystyrene plastic to create sculptural forms that populate my large-scale colorful installations. Her work references the things seen every day- from neighborhood flower gardens to the ever-growing skyline of Boston. She has a vocabulary of shapes that includes ladders\, grids\, and spirals. The installations of hanging painted sculptures are whimsical\, playful spaces that provide an experience of both delight and surprise.  \nArch has had solo exhibitions at Danforth Art in Framingham\, MA\, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury\, MA\, and the Hunt Gallery at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia. She has completed site specific murals at Lesley University’s Porter Square building in Cambridge\, MA\, Stonehill College\, and Danforth Art in Framingham\, MA. Arch has been awarded residencies at Vermont Studio Center\, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, Sanskriti Foundation in Delhi\, and in Auvillar\, France. Her work is included in many private and public collections including the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum\, Fidelity Corporation\, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In 2019 her work was featured at the Fitchburg Art Museum\, and in 2020 at the Cahoon Museum of American Art. Most recently\, Arch was commissioned by Google to do a room-sized installation. Arch showed installations at the Boston Sculptors Gallery\, Brattleboro Art Museum in Vermont and the Danforth Museum in Framingham\, MA. Her work will be on view at the San Luis Obispo Art Museum in 2025.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Images:Top: Detail\, Holding the Center 4\, 2025\, Acrylic on synthetic paper\, 8′ x 4′Right top:  Shape of Things\, 2025\, Acrylic on polystyreneRight bottom:  Holding the Center 4\, 2025\, Acrylic on synthetic paper\, 8′ x 4′

Their multimedia artworks invite viewers to explore the visible\, hidden\, and symbolic aspects of natural beauty found in aquatic environments. Each artist expresses ideas of interconnection between organisms within ecosystems through imagery such as grids\, nets\, and repeating patterns. \nThis idea for this curated exhibition was conceived after visual artist Lauren Comito received a Community Art Grant from the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council in 2025. The New York City and Huletts Landing-based visual artist used this grant to examine and portray copepods\, tiny crustacean zooplankton\, along with aquatic plants found in Lake George\, bringing to light the interconnected systems that contribute to the purity of the lake. \nComito enlarges the scale of these microscopic organisms through cyanotype prints\, making them visible. The images reveal the delicate and intricate structures of these tiny creatures that play an essential role in filtering and purifying the water\, elevating them to the status of “guardians of the lake.” \nMilcah Bassel\, whose work has been exhibited at the Rubin Museum of Art\, Bronx Museum of the Arts\, and other venues both nationally and internationally\, applies unique materials and processes to explore both cultural and natural structures. Her pieces in the exhibition are inspired by the use of a grid to represent water in ancient civilizations\, creating intersecting rippling patterns on unique pulp papers. \nAmanda Thackray\, who is currently the inaugural Environmental Protection Agency Artist in Residence for the lower Passaic River in New Jersey\, also utilizes grid patterns in handmade paper designs that combine notions of nature\, industry\, and human experience. Her netlike imagery is a malleable grid referencing both organic material and human intervention within an environment. \nBrooklyn-based artist and wildlife rehabilitator Rachel Frank employs various material processes\, including ceramics\, fabric\, and drawing. The material transformations that occur in the art-making process mirror the restorative processes that take place in the healing of lives and habitats. The repeating patterns in her work express the interconnections and exchanges between species. \nImages:Top: Lauren Comito\, PostcardMiddle left:  Rachel Frank\, Wading Foot Tangle (detail)\, 2024\, Ink\, watercolor\, and pigment on paper\, 11″ x 15″Middle right: Milcah Bassel\, Untitled (detail)\, 2024\, Color pencil on black Fabriano paper\, 9″ x 12″ \n
