Bonsack Gallery: Friday, 15 February 2013

A Bonsack Gallery exhibit entitled “Textures and Topography” will feature the sculptures of
Adam Long and paintings of Mary C. Nasser from February 15 through April 2, 2013.
Nasser’s paintings are inspired by nature, specifically, landscapes and geology. She explains,
“My love of landscape is revealed in mixed media paintings layered with maps and scientific
illustrations. I am captivated by the idea that geological shifts and transformations seem to
parallel both individuals and their relationships, continually changing, varying, shifting and
developing, too.”

Long’s sculptures form a connection between humankind and nature by using natural and
manmade found objects. He says, “Mankind tends to view itself as separated from and above its
environment. My work is ultimately about humanity and explores man’s connection to nature,
his place in it and how man seeks to explore and understand his environment.”

All are invited to an opening reception hosted by the artists from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, on Friday,
February 15, 2013. Regular gallery hours are 8 am to 6:30 pm, weekdays. The exhibit is free to
the public.
