Press Release
Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Stardust Dialogues, a selection of photographs by Austin, TX based artist and educator Elizabeth Chiles. The exhibition is being presented in partnership with the Historic Santa Fe Foundation at the gallery at El Zaguán in Santa Fe. The exhibition and programming explore concepts of time, perception, and eco-spirituality. Stardust Dialogues is presented for the month of August.
Elizabeth Chiles works with flowers and digital collage techniques to explore the relationship between the tangible and the immaterial. Layers of transparent linen fabric, cutout plant forms, and silhouettes are digitally woven together. Throughout Stardust Dialogues, Chiles draws attention to vital and intangible forces–light, time, and energy–found in every aspect of nature.
