Wilt
July 25th—August 25th
27 Ulster Ave
Ulster Park, NY
Situated within a home between inhabitants, Wilt invites viewers to dwell in a state of transition. The works gathered here resist fixed notions or beginning or end, instead tracing the porous, overlapping nature of change. Across the exhibition, cycles of memory, decay, inheritance, and transformation unfold through image, object, and language—not to preserve them completely, but to allow them to linger, dissipate, and take shape anew.
Emma Ressel is an artist and researcher working with large-format film photography, re-photography, and archival materials. Her current work draws on natural history collections to examine how we describe and understand the natural world across vast spans of time. Ressel received a BA in Photography from Bard College and an MFA from the University of New Mexico. She lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Katherine March Driscoll is a photographer and archivist whose work examines the effects of time on the built environment. Through photography, she documents the evolving relationships between architecture, memory, and place, revealing the subtle traces of change embedded within everyday landscapes. Driscoll earned a BFA at the NYSCC School of Art & Design at Alfred University and an MFA in Imaging Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology. She lives and works in the Hudson Valley.
Abbi Kenny is a painter whose saturated, visceral works draw from her New England heritage, transforming regional delicacies and family recipes into larger-than-life compositions. Through layered surfaces that reference and incorporate inherited materials, Kenny explores how traditions are passed down through tangible, lived experience. Kenny received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, and an MFA in Painting from Boston University College of Fine Arts. She lives and works in Kingston, New York, where she also serves as a Lecturer of Painting and Drawing at Purchase College, SUNY.
David Sater is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and experimental filmmaker whose practice is guided by a deep engagement with alchemy, myth, and esoteric traditions. Through film, drawing, printmaking, and writing, Sater constructs magico-poetic systems in which symbols, creatures, and archetypal figures circulate across time and space. He studied literature, art, ancient mythologies, and experimental film at Bard College, with additional training in printmaking at the Royal Drawing School and Columbia University, and completed an alchemical apprenticeship with Robert Bartlett. Sater divides his time between upstate New York and Oaxaca, Mexico.
Alaina Sullivan's practice spans abstract painting and photography. Her work explores the shape-shifting and often irresolvable nature of our inner and outer landscapes, translating the ephemeral qualities of perception, memory, and place into visual form. Working intuitively, Sullivan creates atmospheric compositions that invite contemplation of the emotional resonance embedded within everyday experience. She received a BA from Colgate University and lives and works in New York State.
Rae Wilson is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves fluidly across ceramics, florals, and movement. Interested in temporality, ritual, and the relationships between body, landscape, and material, Wilson creates works that invite moments of reflection and connection. Combining ceramic vessels, sculptural forms, and floral elements, her installations bring the ephemeral into conversation with the ancient, embracing cycles of growth, decay, and renewal. Wilson lives and works in New York's Hudson Valley, where she also leads workshops exploring the meditative and communal possibilities of clay, floral design, and yoga.
