Upcoming Exhibition
Decipher: Beck Lowery & Alex Paat
October 3 - December 5, 2025
In this pairing of sculptural works, the act of trying to understand or make sense connects the artistic practices of Beck Lowry and Alex Paat. Their compositions present as code or symbols for us to decipher, as each grapples with big questions around connection, spirituality, ritual, and transformation. These works play with dualities like fear and joy, the haptic and the intangible, and image versus object. This exhibition is curated by Erika Diamond.
Erika is a textile-focused artist, curator, and educator. She holds degrees from Rhode Island School of Design and Virginia Commonwealth University. She has exhibited nationally and abroad in such venues as Contemporary Craft, Dinner Gallery, Form & Concept Gallery, and Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. Her work is included the collections of San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles and Ally Bank. Residencies and Grants include: McColl Center, Platte Forum, UNCA STEAM Studio; VCU Arts; and Arts & Science Council of NC. Diamond is Associate Director of Galleries at Chautauqua Institution.
