Archway Gallery presents Becky Soria: "Gaia's Oracle" opening reception

For some years now, Becky Soria's work has focused on human and animal figures. In those works, Soria re-constructed female and animal forms from within, though not in any literal sense of depicting internal organs and such. In this new group of works, Soria has moved her penetrating gaze from those figures into the external world they inhabit. This is the dwelling place of Gaia - Mother Earth. "I feel this urge, as an artist, to respond to the urgent call of Mother Earth," quotes Soria. Through Thursday, May 1. (5 p.m.)
