Mother Tree at Rhythmix Cultural Works

This Saturday is the last chance to see our mother/daughter photography installation

Please join us on the last day of Mother Tree
at Rhythmix Cultural Works in Alameda on Saturday, June 26.
The gallery will be open from 2:00 - 5:00 pm

About Jan & Emilie's project:
In our collaboration for the Mother Tree Exhibit, Jan and Emilie created an installation of images that were made when we were both 22 years old.  Emilie is almost 23, and her images were taken recently.  Jan went into her archives of negatives to find images that she took when she was 22.   As we began selecting work for the show we discovered how our vision was so in sync.  This element of synchronicity has been a gratifying and rewarding mother/daughter experience.

We hope to see you!

Mother Trees, the biggest in the forest, are connected to other forest trees and plants by their roots and a fungal network that communicates, shares resources and nurtures seedlings.  The Mother Tree exhibit celebrates the sustaining connections between Mothers and their Daughters made through photography, collage, painting and prose. 
 

The exhibits features the work of mother-daughter artists:
Ginny & Sally Parsons
Hopi Breton, Lee Zabin & Esther Zabin
Danielle Gilbert & Molly Boyle
Annie & Emily Heller
 Jan & Emilie Watten

ABOUT  GRAY  LOFT  GALLERY

 

Gray Loft Gallery - voted "Best Art Gallery"  two years in a row - 2016  & 2017 - in the Oakland Magazine Readers' Choice Award - has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater Bay Area for 7 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem in Jingletown, and noted by Kenneth Baker, former SF Chronicle Art Critic, in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining prominence in the Bay Area…”   The mission of the gallery is to provide exhibition opportunities for artists in a setting that is an alternative to the traditional gallery model. We hope to inspire, engage and celebrate artists in our community and beyond.  We acknowledge the achievements of emerging, mid-career and established artists – with an emphasis on those who live and work in the Bay Area – in a non-traditional art space. A number of artists began their art career at Gray Loft Gallery.
 
“I have always enjoyed this gallery, superb atmosphere and lighting. The polished and worn hardwood floors creek slightly in places as you climb to the third floor, providing a granular and unique, organic aesthetic. This is a do-not-miss venue in the East Bay.”  –  Facebook Review     

      

Hours:  Temporarily closed for now until Open Studios
