Alchemy of a Seed opens this weekend and marks a powerful new exhibition by Central New York artist Catherine Spencer, on view through June 8. Through vibrant, biomorphic sculptures made from memory foam, textiles, and found materials, Catherine explores themes of transformation, resilience, and the quiet power of emergence. Rooted in memory and play, her work blurs the line between natural and surreal, inviting viewers to reflect on what it means to grow, adapt, and become. Join us for her gallery talk on Wednesday, April 9 at Noon, and a hands-on collage workshop, The Alchemy of Play, on Saturday, April 12 from 11:00am to 2:00pm—both free with museum admission. (fb)
