"Summer Shadows XXI”
Encaustic and silk organza on panel
24 x 24 x 1.-1/3 in.

A sneak preview of the "Shadows" exhibit at CSI Project Space which opens on Saturday, March 1st and runs through April 25th.

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, March 1, 2025, 6–9pm

Shadows are more than just the absence of light—they are symbols of the hidden, the fleeting, and the ambiguous. Across psychology, literature, art, and philosophy, shadows have long served as metaphors for the complexities of human experience. They invite us to explore what lies beneath the surface, confront the unseen, and embrace the mystery of what we cannot fully grasp.
Carl Jung’s concept of the “shadow self” speaks to the parts of ourselves we often deny or suppress—the fears, flaws, and truths that challenge our ideal self-image. Yet, in engaging with this shadow, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, finding strength in vulnerability and balance in the dualities of our existence.

Shadows shift, stretch, and dissolve, echoing the impermanence of our world. They remind us to savor the fleeting beauty of the moment, to find wonder in the transient, and to reflect on life’s fragile brilliance.

Exhibiting Artists: Nicole Beck, Charlotte Briskin, Catie Burrill, Bethany Cordero, Helen Dannelly, Christine Forni, James Hajicek, Alex Jarus, Jen Leibowitz, Dawn Liddicoatt, Marianne Lovink, Dana Major, Angela McElwain, Bill Mitchell, Julia Paloma, Kelly Pelka, Thomas Plum, Vaso Georgulis Powers, Marky Salvati, Howard Sandroff, Zelene Jiang Schlosberg, Snail Scott, Marvin Shafer, David Vosburg, Sishi Wang, Bruce Webber, Charles Yost

Curator: Micki LeMieux

The CSI Project Space Gallery is located at 1912 N. Damen Ave.
Gallery Hours: Fri, 2-6 pm; Sat, 12-8 pm; Sun, 1-5 pm
