Resonant Beings | Clara Laratta

Resonant Beings

Redeemer Art Gallery

Thursday November 21, 2024 - Thursday January 16, 2025

Resonant Beings delves into echoes of life rippling through memory, matter and our biosphere. It examines an ongoing dialogue surrounding humanity’s relationship with the natural environment and itself. This research is expressed through a collection of sculpture, drawing, and print works. Found and natural materials are utilized, allowing forms to emerge organically from the surrounding landscape. The organic structures hold space for reflection—their lightness and strength revealing contrast. Each piece in this exhibition speaks to transformation and bonds that reflect familial ties, spiritual connection, community and our place within the natural world
