OXS GALLERY, NEVADA ARTS COUNCIL: Walter McNamara and Lynda Yuroff. Walter McNamara’s pieces in Recycled Habits are manipulated and transformed, combined with other bits and pieces, and worked into the service of visual statements. The results are personal myths that mix satire, puns and storytelling. In Trickster Ways, Yuroff’s work is influenced by the trickster figure of Native American mythology as she studies the changes that occur during the creative process—adding and removing paint, defining the object, then obscuring and re-defining the piece. M-F, 8am-5pm through 12/18. Free. 716 N. Carson St., Ste. A, Carson City, (775) 687-6680.
