UCSB Library is excited to present the works of Macduff Everton and Mary Heebner in the exhibition Polar Opposites.

Small marks and individual units combine to build a landscape and architecture greater than its own. The exhibition Soft Bodies brings together the distinctive work of two artists, Melinda Braathen and Liz Stringer, each offering a unique perspective on the delicate interplay between the individual and the collective. The exhibition examines impermanence, transformation, and the evolving relationship between the sacred and the performative.
