Throughout April, Interface Gallery becomes a studio/laboratory/workshop space for exploring and visualizing the invisible qualities of medicinal plants familiar to the Bay Area - stimulating the senses and inspiring wonder at the rich possibilities that the plants around us offer.
In this ongoing, process-oriented exhibition, artists Susanne Cockrell, Sasha Duerr, Alyssa Pitman and Suzanne L'Heureux will collaboratively represent their research and experimentation with specific local plants. Additionally, they will convene in the gallery each Thursday, from 4-6 pm, to engage in new explorations and visualize their discoveries.
Allowing for further collaboration and experimentation, gallery neighbor, Nicholas Weinstein of Homestead Apothecary, has scheduled a series of workshops that will take place at Interface Gallery on Sunday afternoons throughout April. Planned together with Interface Gallery's support, these workshops will be open and free to the public.
