The Art Gallery will present two new exhibits through Oct. 1 at 564 N. Trade St., Winston-Salem.
“A Leg to Stand On” is a new series of works by Jessica Tefft, and “The Forest” is an ongoing series of work by Wendell Myers.
Tefft’s new work looks at how tragedy and trauma can transform us. Tefft explores the idea of tragedy, loss and resilience through collages and augmented reality.
Myers continues his series of trees and exposed brush pieces, inspired by the time he and his late wife, Pam, spent in Poland over the past 15 years. Myers applies a saturated color to produce an active surface with visual depth and detail.
Gallery hours are 11-5pm Wednesday-Saturday and 1-4pm Sunday.
