Overture Gallery III: Views and Hues

Henry Matthiessen III and Dawn Wians set out to explore human scale in their work. One discovers a grounded connection to the earth through painting abstracted woodlands, and the other amplifies humanity’s insignificance in the universe through a camera lens. Explore contrasting perspectives in this collaborative exhibition.
