Closing the doors on Ali Vaughan: The Afterlife of Rivers and and Fields this Sunday, May 3.
The Afterlife of Rivers and Fields is a poetic meditation on landscape as a living record of memory, emotion, and time. Through process-driven mark making, @alijetv_ reflects on cycles of loss and renewal, revealing place as something shaped and reshaped by human activity and natural change.
