"What prepared me at MCLA for my internship at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and graduate school was the rigor of my physics classes. I would credit Dr. Adrienne Wootters in particular with teaching us to work hard and she was always willing to make time to work on problems with us when we couldn’t get them."

Mapping the Invisible

July 31 through Sept. 21.
Opening reception - Thursday, July 31, 6-8 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public.

In Mapping the Invisible artists, Joshua Filed and Melissa Lillie are using personal visual languages to portray dream-like worlds that seem at once familiar and unnatural.

Field is known for narrative paintings that use symbolic imagery to explore personal mythology. Lillie's colorful and lyrical work draws inspiration from the natural world, appearing simultaneously macroscopic and microscopic, internal and external.

Born in North Adams , Field grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and also exhibits his work at Kolok Gallery located at the Windsor Mill in North Adams.

Born in Maryland, Lillie grew up surrounded by the strange and wonderful world of the National Zoo, where her father worked as a Zoo Keeper. In addition to painting, she frequently works sculpturally, creating forms that utilize both line and color. Lillie also exhibits her work at Kolok Gallery.

MCLA Gallery 51 is at 51 Main St., North Adams. The Gallery is open daily, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, 413-664-8718
