Simple Objects: An Excavation Second Saturday Reception

Archival Gallery presents Simple Objects: An Excavation – a multimedia collaboration of Stephanie Taylor and Christy Heron-Clark – is on display June 4-29. Join this Second Saturday reception on June 8, featuring complimentary refreshments and an opportunity to meet the featured artists.

Simple Objects: An Excavation, is an installation of written recollections, photography, drawings, rescued objects, and video taken from the Camp Fire devastation in Paradise, California. Taylor collaborates with Christy Heron-Clark, a writer and science editor, on this installation.

This is a story told through the lens of objects: a hammerhead with no handle, a box of cherished film slides charred and fused, hunting rifles with no stocks. As an artist, Taylor responds to each object as it exists, transformed by loss and fire. For Christy, each item holds precious memories, resonating with meaning.
