SUMMARY:“Desire Path” Featuring Hannah Fridholm & Lisa J. Mullikin
DESCRIPTION:Art in Bloom Gallery is eager to introduce you to the ceramic sculptures and paintings of guest artists Hannah Fridholm & Lisa J. Mullikin – two recent arrivals to our area with fresh perspectives to share! Ceramicist Hannah Fridholm explores the fragility of memory and the fleeting moments that shape our lives\, using clay as a medium to embody transformation and impermanence. Through hand-built sculptures and textured forms\, she captures the delicate nature of human experiences. Painter & architect Lisa J. Mullikin focuses on the relationships we have with regional landscapes\, and the cultural connections we have to place. Since moving to Wilmington\, Lisa’s oils have reflected the area’s unique relationships between the placid land\, dynamic sky and the formidable ocean. \nIn the landscape of human experience\, a “desire path” is the unplanned route carved by choices\, losses\, and transformations. Through incorporating mixed media into their creations\, Hannah & Lisa explore the intersections between nature\, history\, and imagination – the transitory moments when we move from one space to the next. This is not unlike our lives in transition\, when we are heading down a certain path but suddenly feel compelled to walk through the untrodden meadow searching and hoping for something wild and unexpected. Altogether\, “Desire Path” honors memories and the trail we carve into the earth when we stray from the path. \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, April 26th\, 2-5pm for our Artist Reception. Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by jazz guitarist Roger Davis! This exhibit will run through June 7th\, alongside a new selection of featured works by our 30+ Gallery Artists. \nAbout the Artists \nClay\, for Hannah Fridholm\, is not just a material but a vessel of memory. It has a life of its own\, requiring attention and care throughout its journey. Like us\, it is vulnerable — subject to cracking\, breaking\, and sometimes even exploding. The process of working with clay becomes a sanctuary\, a space where emotions can be expressed and explored. The fragile results of this process mirror the fragility of our own lives. In creating these precarious objects\, Hannah’s aim is to make a statement about the precious\, fleeting nature of existence. \nHannah’s newest works are a testament to the precious\, fleeting nature of life and the resilience found in nature’s lifecycles. Hannah works with clay because it is a material that embodies memory\, mirroring the fragility of life. These sculptures act as shrines to moments lost\, realized\, or imagined. By turning the scars of life into decorative regalia\, these figures wear their histories as adornments. \nLisa J. Mullikin’s painting career has been a continuation of her architecture career. She continues to be intrigued by nature\, light\, and space\, and what decisions we make when we are passing through “in-between spaces” – those moments when we move from one space to the next\, when the light opens up or closes down and we become hyper aware of our surroundings. \nMany of Lisa’s pieces explore these dreamlike experiences where will and acceptance collide. Her recent series add a layer of exploration into the interconnectedness of life. To Lisa\, the women in these paintings quietly hold up the world and protect us. They are a part of nature\, as are the animals\, who are always messengers\, storytellers\, and deep thinkers. They free us to trust our intuition. They compel us to be our wild selves. Through making\, Lisa investigates a world where she can be the animal.

SUMMARY:Cinematique presents "Citizen Kane" at Jengo's Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Cinematique is back! Join us for the first Cinematique at Jengo’s screening with the film that started it all- Citizen Kane! Join us for the kick-off of the re-imagined Cinematique\, hosted by WHQR and the Cucalorus Film Foundation. Stay after the 4pm matinee or show up early for the 7:30pm screening to enjoy the Cinematique Social Hour from 6pm-7:15pm in the Jengo’s Bar (we’ll provide the snacks!) After the second screening\, Todd Berliner\, Professor of Film Studies at UNCW\, will discuss the profound impact Orson Wells’ film had on filmmaking. \nNewspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result\, every well-meaning\, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.
