Dreams of Water, Bodies of Earth: Lenore Solmo and Chao Wang
June 6 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Dreams of Water, Bodies of Earth is a dual exhibition that explores the intersection of natural and synthetic ecosystems
Brooklyn-based artist Lenore Solmo reimagines single-use plastic bottles, vintage jewelry parts, and other found objects into luminous sea creatures, oysters, and seascapes. She transforms discarded items into a living record of human presence and plastic in the natural world, documenting the ubiquity of the material and its environmental impact on our oceans.
Chao Wang‘s oil paintings focus on insects and terrestrial life, observing delicate organisms that often exist unnoticed within our everyday environment. The Gowanus-based artist blurs the boundary between scientific observation and imagined ecology, presenting insects as symbols of resilience, transformation, and interconnected intelligence.
Dreams of Water, Bodies of Earth reflects on environmental fragility, material transformation, and the evolving relationship between living organisms and human-made worlds. Traversing between marine and terrestrial realms, the exhibition explores how modern life shapes our views of nature.
