Experience the Redeemer Art Gallery’s newest exhibit by local artist Clara Laratta, Resonant Beings. Join the gallery for the exhibit’s opening on November 21 at 5 p.m.

Resonant Beings delves into echoes of life rippling through memory, matter and our biosphere. It examines an ongoing dialogue surrounding humanity’s relationship with the natural environment and itself. This research is expressed through a collection of sculpture, drawing, photography and print works. The artist utilizes found and natural materials, allowing forms to emerge organically from the surrounding landscape. Natural fibers are presented as forms that feel both contemporary and ancient, bridging the gap and forging connections between the past and present while highlighting the continuity of human experience. Organic structures hold space for reflection—their lightness and strength revealing contrast. Each piece in this exhibition speaks to transformation and bonds that reflect familial ties, spiritual connection, community and our place within the natural world.
