< Back Stephanie Metz SEPT 14 - DEC 29 In the Glow Stephanie Metz is an accomplished Bay Area fiber arts sculptor. She has an affinity for the natural world, which is often echoed through her artistic creations. Her artwork is created through a sense of curiosity and her desire to explore the meaning of things around her. The Triton is pleased to present a new body of Metz's work in her exhibition In the Glow which will combine smaller works with a large scale immersive installation, specially created for the Cowell Room gallery. Artist Statement: I use fiber media to sculpt solid, freestanding forms that embody the complex experiences of womanhood within contemporary American culture. Created from wool fibers needle-felted into intricate, robust, writhing shapes or meticulously stitched from pieces of thick, smooth wool felt, my sculptures evoke the female form rendered in soft, tactile media to engage viewers on multiple sensory and intellectual levels. Current works incorporate subtle reflections of intense pink pigment, a color laden with cultural significance long associated with femininity. The organic forms I create are seductively approachable yet mildly alarming; they serve as vessels for exploring the multifaceted nature of living in a female-identifying body—a spectrum encompassing strength and vulnerability, the beautiful and the grotesque, pain and resilience, control and the lack of agency. "Soft power" refers to persuasion through indirect or non-confrontational means; it captures the way I learned to navigate my world as a girl growing up in 1980s America, as well as my visually alluring approach to feminist topics in a world that still undervalues women. I want to be part of the dialog that ushers in a future in which gender equality, positive body images, reproductive rights, and sexual empowerment are the norm. My sculpture invites audiences to reconsider their preconceptions and assumptions, fostering a sense of shared connection within the larger human experience through a visceral, visual language.

< Back Cynthia Ona Innis JAN 17 - APR 19 Seams Cynthia Ona Innis is a visual artist based in Berkeley, California. She holds a BA from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MFA from Rutgers University. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the San Jose Museum of Art, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Crocker Art Museum, and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, among others. Innis has been recognized with numerous awards, including a 2025 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a James D. Phelan Award, a MacDowell Fellowship and a Sustainable Arts Foundation Award. She is represented by Walter Maciel Gallery in Los Angeles. Artist Statement: My work begins with painting, then moves through disassembly and reconstruction—an ongoing exploration of connection and division. Where there is a seam, two or more things converge. These seams mark the joining of materials as well as the meeting of times, places and states of being. Moments such as sunrise and sunset, moonrise and nightfall fold into one another, revealing how change itself creates continuity. In a fractured world, the seam becomes both metaphor and method: a site where rupture and repair coexist. Seams explores the interplay of light, landscape and weather as a way to map perception and memory. The shifting glow of the sun, the stillness of the moon and the vastness of the night sky form a temporal and spatial framework for orientation and reflection. Informed by distinct weather patterns of coastal California, the marine layer, coastal fog and rays of light emerge as visual language that mirrors the mutable rhythms of the natural world. My approach to abstraction is rooted in a physical, process-driven practice. Pigments are poured directly onto fabric, or bleached to remove color, to create a dialogue between accumulating and editing, masking and unveiling, presence and absence. Materials such as cotton, canvas, nylon, and silver lamé hold equal weight to the pigments. Cut, reassembled and stitched, the surfaces echo tectonic movement and natural cycles of fragmentation and repair. Recent wall installations expand this practice through scale and suspension and the responsiveness of materials. Often beginning with recycled or discarded textiles, painted and sewn fabric panels are attached to wooden supports allowing them to hang freely and respond subtly to air and motion. In Fixing on a Horizon, multiple horizon lines reference sunrise and sunset as shifting points of equilibrium and orientation, while Blue Slip traverses gradients of blue, from pale to near-black that evoke twilight’s liminal expanse between clarity and obscurity. Across these works, stitching, knitting, layering, and suspension become meditations on connection and fracture—memory and material, permanence and impermanence. The resulting surfaces reflect the layered experiences that shape how we see and move through the natural world. Previous Next

Unknown EXHIBITION Trees Kalani Engles DATES: FEB 5 - MAY 8 YEAR: 2022 Previously on view in the Unknown < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION "If you look at nature closely, you can see things that elude the casual observer. You can see geometric shapes - like the angle at the point of a thorn or the roundness of a thicket of leaves. You can see patterns - like the alignment of tree trunks in a stand or the veins of a leaf. And vou can see color - not just the obvious greens and golds and browns, but blue and red and purple hues revealed by the interplay of diffused light and shadow beneath dense canopy. In my work I try to surprise the viewer by highlighting aspects of nature that they may not recognize as real and to challenge them to look more carefully so that they can appreciate more of what nature has to offer."
