Check out the exhibitions in the Carbondale Arts Gallery, featuring a variety of mediums by Courtney Kenny, Michael Kinsley, and Laura Dortmans.

Recording Time (with Scraps and Words) by mixed media artist Courtney Kenny incorporates poetry as a form of sketching to record observations, emotions, frustrations, and revelations. Through her own art and poetry, Courtney documents these visceral moments of awe.

Intimate. Immensity. Laura Dortmans’ ceramic sculptures perform as a surrogate for the physicality of her body. The solidification of gestural movement translates a moment of intimate touch and gives form to the immensity of internal geography; desire, tender love, preserved in space and time

Fluid Landscapes by Michael Kinsley features newer landscape paintings, notable for their intriguing amplification of nature’s sensual forms. These “fluid” landscapes in oil depict familiar scenes in southeastern Utah and western Colorado, especially in the Roaring Fork Valley.

All three shows are generously sponsored by Basalt Printing and Art Supply, and on display through October 30. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.
