Jamie Zimchek’s recent work revolves around an exploration of the stories told by dominant power systems to shape social constructs and reinforce strategic self-interests. In modernity, measured in nanoseconds, binary strings allow the mass distribution of mass narratives to mass audiences - a global deluge of information. Meanwhile, simple marks made in dark, prehistoric cave shelters stubbornly defy our impulses to decipher meaning and pe*****te the temporal thickness of many millennia. These contrasts and the cloudiness shrouding deep time are her current studio focus, setting the stage for varied visual explorations that reference prehistory but also broad social and personal life changes. These fuzzy and befuddling shifts are just as perplexing as the muddle of fact and fiction characteristic of contemporary public narratives.

UNDERSTORY is focused on exhibiting interdisciplinary and conceptual work by regional and emerging artists and promoting experimental art, creative dialogue, and community engagement.

Susan Snipes’ new works consider fuzzy fields as spaces where physical and digital connections coalesce but remain incomplete.

Snipes uses fields as sites of activity - places that register presence, touch, and duration without resolving into fixed images or specific narratives. These works emerge from her interest in how communication persists across time and distance, often lingering as traces and memories of exchanges. By engaging written correspondence and processes shaped by light and exposure, she thinks about writing as gesture, residue, and embodied action rather than the explicit meaning of a message. Here, fuzzy fields operate as temporal spans and places of not knowing, where connection drifts, overlaps, and resists certainty.
