Elena Peteva will give an Artist’s Lecture on Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. in Gallery II, the artist behind “Of Ash and Light.” Of Ash and Light explores individual, social, and global states through allegorical representation. Subject and material become metaphor, creating a net of meaning – a charcoal drawing of hands about to reach into a dark tangle or an installation of a mound of ash. I seek a distilled representation that goes beyond the surface and invites the viewer to slow down, look closer, and reflect.
