Head in the Clouds - Katie Vasbinder
View this exhibit February 4 to 28, 2025.
This art show traces the evolution of abstraction, starting with dynamic, fluid forms that evoke a sense of movement and energy. As the series progresses, the pieces subtly transform, evolving into softer, cloud-like compositions that retain their abstract essence while suggesting the delicate, shifting nature of the sky. The journey from bold abstraction to atmospheric clouds reflects a growing sensitivity to texture, form, and the ethereal qualities of nature.
“I am a big day dreamer and often ponder the sky and space above. My work tries to capture the energy imagined around me and beyond, from the music playing to the breaths I take, or thoughts on what’s happening in our universe. I take visceral movements with a metaphysical existence.”
-Katie Vasbinder
Vasbinder is also a practicing, licensed architect and has published an Amazon #1 New Release book, Designing and Creating a House for Living and Self Discovery, and an NDSU graduate.
The member gallery showcases the artwork of Vicky Hammel. Vicky is inspired by her grandmothers and mother, and has nurtured a lifelong passion for art, from beading to eco printing. Recently, she has combined her passions for gardening and art to create unique eco prints and hand-bound journals.
