Opening Reception Saturday, January 31, 7–9pm

PRISMATTAK is a show comprised of bright, psychedelic, and beautiful artwork I adore. If you were to fall asleep and wake up inside of a rainbow, this is what you may find... like some sort of prismatic attack! When speaking with one of the artists involved in the show, I jokingly told him to think about how it feels to take acid in the woods. I wanted to make him smile and laugh but to also try and channel a happy, slightly uncomfortable aesthetic.

Berlin-based Canadian Brent Wadden imagines intense, hypnotic visions, Houstonian Renata Jones' new work transforms crumpled paper into psychedelic landscapes. Austinite Rebecca Ward will be creating a site specific installation, sure to transcend you. Also participating in the show are Rene Cruz, Woody Golden, Stepan Agov, and Lane Hagood; a limited edition of tie-dye shirts by Lisa Marie Godfrey will be available at the opening.
