Recall of the Wild

Tawni Shuler's childhood on a Wyoming farm laid the foundation for her way of seeing and painting. "It's very empty," says the artist, "and you think that it's very still, and yet there are all these small things occurring, all these decompositions, and things are growing -- this huge place and all these small things are going on." Shuler's solo show captures the micromoments of nature's cycle: abstracted forms of earth, water, seed, leaf, fur, feather, and bone, layered time-warpily onto large panels.

How our mind changes that, what we remember -- how is that important?"
