Event
Gallery Exhibition: The Weight of Light
Sep 10 - Oct 30, 2026
Patton-Malott Gallery
This exhibition brings together butterfly-wing portraits from Benjamin Timpson’s Illuminated Lives with new experiments in glass, resin, and light. The portraits honor lives shaped by resilience and loss, while the newer works expand the inquiry into transparency, fragility, and transformation. Layered materials bend and refract light, suggesting both protection and exposure, and marking a new chapter in an ongoing meditation on memory, survival, and metamorphosis.
