This Saturday March 14th, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., Addington Gallery will be participating in the River North gallery walk. We are opening a fantastic new exhibition, "Learn to Love", new mixed media work by Teresa James.

Meet The artist, refreshments served!

While still referencing the materials and techniques of her printmaking background, Teresa's current works are the result of a variety of techniques. She begins by adapting and repurposing historic impressions of maps, animals, and nature, layering and collaging them onto a variety of vintage book covers. The resulting geometric compositions provide a weathered, narrative field, a dimensional receptive site for her imagined, hand drawn figurative imagery, including her personal recurring iconography of winged hands. These hands seem to embody an expressive and creative power. The wings, delicate and mystical, whisper the possibility of a fluid mobility between worlds. The act of juxtaposing these images and blurring distinctions between techniques results in a series of shifting realities at once scientific, observational, and intimately spiritual.
