‘The Way We See It’ Spread across the Edgewater Gallery’s two Middlebury locations, this group exhibition highlights works by four of the gallery’s
female artists. On view at Edgewater on the Green are macro-lens botanical photographs by Middlebury College art history professor Kirsten Hoving and the painted wooden panels of Philadelphia-based Michele Kishita. Each focuses on the subtleties of natural formations: Hoving by using a painterly eye to document and abstract floral geometries, and Kishita by using poppy, bright colors to trace the organic contours of her wooden surfaces. On view at Edgewater at Middlebury Falls are the paintings of Rupert-based Jane Davies and Texan Alexis Serio. While Serio’s broad horizon lines and amorphous color fields hint at landscape, Davies’ textural, mixed-media compositions enter the realm of pure abstraction. Through June 30. Pictured: “Summer Rain” by Kishita.
