Mulberry Art Studios sets group exhibition

Ephemeral, an art show by the CAPSLOCK Collective, will be featured at Mulberry Art Studios, 21 N. Mulberry St., Lancaster. The exhibition will open on Friday, Nov. 1, with an opening reception from 5 to 9 p.m., and it will remain on display through Saturday, Nov. 30.

The show is a multimedia exhibit featuring current work from each of the 10 CAPSLOCK member artists, who are Christina Shelly, Emily Hershey, Jennifer Seng, Leaha Blair, Lee Shannon, Logan Hanning, Melissa Way, Michael O'Donohue, Spenser Spratlin and Tony Susi.

Many of the pieces on display were created exclusively for this show. The exhibit will include a wide variety of media, including large-scale sculptural installations, digital projection, jewelry, video, painting, drawing, photography and graphic design. 

In keeping with the theme of "Ephemeral," each artist's work will pay homage to the idea of ephemerality, some directly, some more obliquely. For instance, Spratlin and Blair's digital projection "TAPHONOMY" is an interactive piece that can only exist through focused observation and the presence of light. Shannon's series of illustrations highlight fleeting moments of passion, and O'Donohue's photography captures glimpses of "stray light and everyday magic," suspending them permanently. Way's coruscating interactive installation of light and mirrors welcomes the viewer into an ever-shifting world of light and reflection. At every turn, viewers will encounter work that prompts reflection on the changeable and temporary nature of human life.

CAPSLOCK is an art collective founded in 2016 with the goal of helping its member artists achieve their creative dreams through collaboration, encouragement and mutual accountability. The group consists of 10 Kutztown University arts alumni working in a wide range of media from painting and drawing to interactive digital installation, photography, graphic design, jewelry, sculpture and more. Members of the collective meet every week to give each other feedback, discuss creative goals and help each other plan for the future.
