Taking on the challenge of all things "Green", this exhibition explores the many different ways that the color green can be presented visually by an artist using his/her particular techniques. Using a little or a lot and in its many shades expect to see diverse and thought-provoking imagery from the myriad of abstract expressionists.

In Memoriam, Immersive video installation, wool, silk flowers, jute ribbon, 2023.
Gallery Hours:
Thursdays & Fridays, 6pm - 9pm
Sundays & Saturdays, noon - 5pm
On June 15, 2020, my father, a Detroit native, passed away at the age of 65. In Memoriam celebrates the life of my father by creating the funeral he couldn’t have due to COVID-19. A live performance was staged in 2022 in Thessaloniki, Greece in a 12th century Byzantine Bath house, with three felted wool shrouds, placed on the ground, one for each member of my family. Felted wool is a biodegradable material commonly used for natural burials that becomes a natural rich compost for tree pod burials. A skeletal structure formed within each shroud as I placed the flowers on the wool. I tied red jute ribbons around the historic pillars, inspired by the painted ribbons on the tombs of the historical Greek burial sites. The red threads signify a connection to the dead, and back to the earth, and a link to my Greek heritage. The accumulation of many ribbons overtime, indicates a long history of devotion at a single grave. A projection mapped video of my father’s ashes being spread in the Aegean Sea, his final resting place, surrounds the space. For this exhibition, I present an immersive projection-mapped installation utilizing artifacts from this original performance, such as the wool shrouds, flowers, and red jute ribbons. These elements come together to create a continuation of the memorial for my father, and a space for contemplation for the viewer on their own mortality.

Tattooing is an intricate and demanding craft. Not all tattoo artists engage in an art practice beyond their craft, but when they do, it sparks great creativity. The dedication and sacrifice required for proficient tattooing make it challenging for artists to prioritize other pursuits. Drawing inspiration from an ancient craft, we choose to apply our skills, creating personal works of art in collaboration with those who honor us by wearing our art on their bodies. Some of us harbor a deep desire to create beyond the skin, where we explore with total freedom, the possibilities uninhibited by perfectionism and the constraints of human flesh.

"The subject of my new paintings are buildings from the areas of my roots in Detroit. My great-grandmother's neighborhood and my grandparents' neighborhood are areas I travel through regularly. Although my forefathers have gone, many of the buildings still exist. And as I travel through this route, I see some of what they saw. Also, there is a kind of American humor of marketing in these businesses and places, which creates a fantasy and promises an ironic and grandiose dream alongside its apparent decay. Accompanied by an odor and a memory, these images represent the writings on the wall, so to speak, that continue to build the past into my current experience."

Painting by Amy Fell
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” This famous quote from Pablo Picasso is often misinterpreted, thinking it is advice to artists to tap into your inner child to make art. Rather, it is a challenge to keep the need for art you had in youth remain with you despite the sobriety of adulthood.
The enjoyment of art is experienced in myriad ways—historic significance, academic analysis, social appreciation, technical wizardry, and simple delight. Simple delight arguably is the most childish of the list, understanding that ‘childish’ is not a negative judgment in this instance. Rather, it is the most intuitive and immediate response, a guttural feeling that motivates you to want to engage with the work with an inner-explosion of excitement.
Toys are all about this kind of joy. The thrills that toys gave us as children are never forgotten. Collectors, gamers, and sports fans all actively seek ways to recapture this exuberation, as do the artists in this show. “Toys!” has interactive games, depictions of toys, appropriated familiar objects, and fantastical creations all meant to give simple delights.

There’s nothing as grand as unlocking the secret of human life. Like Dr. Frankenstein assembling his creature from parts of many people, we cut and paste pieces of those we encounter to form the person that we are. May it not end up as a monster, but an unexpected manifestation of ecstasy.
Artists Amy Feigley-Lee and John Corbin form this two-person show. Amy finely slices wallpaper patterns to layer and weaves them into new creations that create the illusion of a complex space. For her, it is a way to connect her past to her future. John created 13 new paintings that blend other artworks plus body parts and painting techniques to unlock secrets.
"This installation is based on the principles of color subtraction, absorption, and reflection. By matching a red pigment with the same red frequency of light, it will seem to disappear.
I witnessed this firsthand with a red ink pen when it failed to show up on paper when a particular red light shone on it. In 2022, I used this principle for a painting shown at the Padzieski Gallery in Dearborn. I matched the ink pigments to the lights and created three seemingly different images.
In this project I have turned that concept into an immersive experience by matching the blue and red paints on the walls illuminated by specific light frequencies using a 4-channel light controller. "

For the last century, photography has held a tenuous place in the art world. It may seem like an old and long-ago settled argument to say that photography is art, but in practice it is kept at arm’s length. Despite photography’s artistic titans, its presence in every art school, and its vast popularity, the close ties it has to commercialism and populism keep it in the periphery.
Socially, photography’s popularity is at an all-time high. It is estimated that 1.72 trillion images were taken in 2022, an average of 20 pictures per person per day. This ubiquitous presence in modern life explains, perhaps, why it is difficult to accept photography as a full and equal member in the halls of fine art. Unlimited reproducibility and, by extension, lower prices negatively impact the medium’s reputation as well. Most recently, artificial intelligence sullies photography’s reputation even further, as loud, eye catching images flood the market that already shows the average American around 10,000 pictures per day. The artist who uses photography is seemingly left with a weakened voice few are willing to hear.
'The Singular Image' is intended to give time, space, and voice to the fine art of photography. It is a chance to slow down the image stream and look at pictures one by one, without illuminated screens, and made with the same passion and deliberation as every other form of artist.

Artists Emilia Nawrocki and saylem celeste present an exhibition that explores two distinct perspectives on their experiences on family, religion, and bloodlines through their shared generational, matriarchal history of fibers and sewing.
The expression “the ties that bind” describes a common idea or belief that links people together. The artist’s shared experiences of growing up in families with background/skills in textiles and sewing, combined with the literal tying of knots within sewing, create a threaded interpersonal story of passing down culture and skills through maternal figures and their offspring. Binding our experiences together through the commonality of gendered family dynamics, being raised in religion, and our bloodlines. This exhibition will inspire discussions around family, gender roles, and the intersections of identity, friendship, and care through the craft of fibers that both artists hold near and dear to their hearts.

For the entire month of June, Jide Aje shifts from creating on surfaces within a space (his studio) to creating directly on the surfaces of a space (the Hatch Gallery walls).
The jumping off point for this body of work is the traditional, vernacular architecture of the Hausa peoples in the Northern regions of Nigeria in West Africa. Specifically, this is referred to as Tubali architecture.
This show starts on June 1 and runs till the 30th. There will be an opening on the 3rd, where there should be about three days worth of work on the walls. On the 30th, a closing reception signalling the conclusion holds. In between, the public is encouraged to drop in to watch work in progress.
The gallery will be open Thursday through Sunday starting June 1st. Thursday and Friday, 6-9pm, Saturday and Sunday, 12-5pm. On Saturday, June 3rd, the gallery will be open 12-9 pm, with a reception starting at 6.

Olivia "Liv" Furman, Ph. D. (they/them) is a Black non-binary womanist artist//educator//researcher currently working on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – the Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples at Michigan State University (MSU). Their primary mediums include multimedia and digital collage, ceramics, quilting, and the written and spoken word. Within their interdisciplinary integration of self-portraiture and experimental methods in ceramics, Liv imagines and materializes afrofuturist worlds for themselves using altar-like installations, slip cast clay bodies, and multimedia materials. Within their artful experiments with memory and time, Liv creates slip cast tiles created from 3D printed lithophane replicas of photographs. Each piece they create artfully stories the fluidity and intimate complexities of their identities, family and ancestors, difficult emotions, desires, memories, and interactions with other people and/or artifacts. In this process of piecing together they utilize digital and textile materials, including collected/recycled paper, personal photos, ceramics, textiles, poetry, symbols, quotes, and other materials to make meaning, to share stories, and to heal.
