About this Event

Strata Gallery is pleased to announce the second iteration of its annual juried exhibition, “Small Works.” The show will be on view from January 10 through January 31, 2025, in Santa Fe’s historic district. An opening reception will take place on January 10th from 5 to 7 PM, and is open to the public.

Featuring 44 works by 33 artists, “Small Works” invites viewers to consider the impact of scale and detail. This year’s exhibition includes a range of media, such as photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and mixed media, showcasing diverse perspectives and methods.

Among the works on display is Thomas Family Portrait #1 by Taylor Thomas, a collage that reimagines familial images through the use of personal photo archives and second-hand materials. By weaving these elements together, Thomas reflects on representations of Blackness across generations and cultural contexts.

Egor Shokoladov’s etching, Master, engages the viewer in a narrative journey. Shokoladov’s meticulous approach draws attention to details that evoke both introspection and discovery, encouraging an exploration of the stories embedded within the work.

Cristi Frye’s sculpture, Spring Chickens, combines polymer clay and found objects to depict a moment of humor and connection. Frye’s work examines shared human experiences, inviting audiences to construct their own narratives about the relationships and actions portrayed.

Athena Parella’s Quiet House, created with graphite and pastel on paper, reflects nostalgia and the surreal. Through subtle shifts in recurring motifs, Parella explores the convergence of memory and imagination, transforming personal experiences into symbolic reflections.

The exhibition underscores Strata Gallery’s commitment to fostering dialogue among artists and audiences, highlighting the potential of small-scale works to leave a lasting impression.

Strata Gallery is open from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
