Opening Reception: Friday, September 9 from 5-8 pm
Steve Wanna makes art that showcases the hidden, often ignored beauty he finds in chaotic and seemingly random phenomena. Abstract, experimental, and multimedia, his work is inspired by science, nature, and philosophy, often incorporating elements of controlled randomness—uncertainty is built into the process. In Transparent to Transcendence, Wanna will exhibit pieces from his Myths of Creation series, as well as a site-specific installation. Myths of Creation is a celebration of the wondrous, almost magical scientific discoveries resulting from images by the Hubble Telescope: their implications on human civilization and our deep desire for storytelling and mythmaking.
Wanna is a multi-disciplinary sound and visual artist whose work includes music, sound design for dance collaborations, sculpture, installation, photography, and works for mixed media. His September 2022 solo exhibition is the culmination of his 2019-2022 Touchstone Foundation for the Arts Fellowship.
