What Will Happen This Summer
'What Will Happen to Summer' is the newest artwork on display in the Atrium Gallery. Artist Robin Gleason explores how our relationship to summer will evolve as temperatures rise and the fire season expands and intensifies.
1991 Kyle Parent
The two pieces shown are topographical studies of important memories from Kyle Parent’s past. These memories have been merged together to form two organic shapes. While memories can be retrievable, some of the less important details can be lost over time, so as to create less structured recall.
