Christina Laurel	October 7 - November 13 Opening Reception: October 7, 6-10pm	Ethereality "Ethereality" captures the tenuous nature of time, movement and beauty on 6x3-foot paper shades and in suspended columnar cocoons. Rochester-based artist Christina Laurel uses mostly black-and-white imagery of kimono, ginkgo and butterflies that are drawn, painted, and collaged onto the ethereal medium of paper. Laurel's columns use woven and folded paper to create the ethereal effect of shadows.
