THE GALLERY AT MOUNTAIN SHADOWS


SPRING FEVER 

ON VIEW APRIL 12 - MAY 31

For its newest exhibition, The Gallery welcomes four artists who incorporate digital and video elements into their varied practices. Allison Moyers’ work is rooted in nostalgia. With a cinematic approach and handmade props, she creates joyful enactments recalling everyday moments of connection. Patricia Sannit immerses her body in her surroundings to document performative interactions. Kara Brooks’ computer-generated drawings are printed and altered by hand using glitter and decorative design to expand narratives of strength and femininity. Krista-Leigh Davis focuses on research-based narratives, employing humor and fantasy to address the climate crisis and our relationship with nature.


This exhibition will include a series of shorts representing each artist that will stream throughout the resort.

 
 

Allison Moyers’ video shorts are rooted in nostalgia. With a cinematic approach and use of handmade props she creates joyful enactments recalling everyday moments of connection. Typically viewed on Instagram, Allison engages soft power dynamics to reflect on societal gender roles and the influence of sex appeal.

 

Patricia Sannit literally immerses her body in her surroundings and responds with amusingly choreographed gestures of tenderness. Documentation of her performative interactions reveals the authenticity of her affections and the depth of awareness that comes with active listening. 

 

Kara Brooks’ computer-generated drawings are printed and altered by hand using glitter and decorative design to expand narratives of strength and femininity. Botanical inspired motifs reflect the universal human instinct to nurture.

 

Krista-Leigh Davis’ research-based narratives employ humor and fantasy to address the climate crisis and our relationship with nature. Her earnest insistence toward a more ecologically just world is examined as if through the looking glass, renewing our sense of wonder.

Lily Reeves addresses the spiritual chasms left by destructive tendencies and a damaged relationship to the land. Referencing magical realism and the supernatural, Reeves’ sculptures, installations, performances, and collaborations explore ideas surrounding personal, societal and environmental healing.
