The Center for the Visual Arts Gallery, located on the Lincroft campus of Brookdale Community College in New Jersey, presents Entanglements, featuring work by ecofeminist artist-educator Amanda Thackray. Thackray creates complex forms referencing abandoned, lyrically floating, tangled netting with paper rope.

Coming up in Middlebury, Vermont: an exhibit at the Jackson Gallery at Town Hall Theater, which will be on view April 21 – June 10. Skylights is a collection of works on paper by Winslow Colwell, who takes the simple kite to a new and whimsical spot in the virtual sky. (Fun fact: our son will be starting a 1-year masters program in Japanese at Middlebury in July).
