DOWNLOAD This Upcoming Month's Book: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco October 7th, 2026 Illuminations of the Written Word Italy, 1347. While Brother William of Baskerville is investigating accusations of heresy at a wealthy abbey, his inquiries are disrupted by a series of bizarre deaths. Turning his practiced detective skills to finding the killer, he relies on logic (Aristotle), theology (Thomas Aquinas), empirical insights (Roger Bacon), and his own ferocious curiosity. With the aid of his young apprentice, William scours the abbey, from its stables to the labyrinthine library, piecing together evidence, and deciphering cryptic symbols and coded manuscripts to uncover the truth about this place where "the most interesting things happen at night.” Much of the most significant achievements of artistic expression in the Medieval Era is found in the ancient manuscripts labored over by monks and nuns as they copied out their most precious texts. Using Eco’s great murder mystery as a starting point, Executive Director Preston Metcalf will present some of the important achievements of these anonymous artists.

As I initially began to conceptualize this body of work, my working title was “Smaller.” In our society, I strongly believe that women feel pressure to limit their self-expression. This resonates deeply with my own journey. Throughout my life, I've carried the weight of constantly needing to make myself smaller, fading into the background and silencing my voice—not only to navigate the world but also to fit into the lives of others. I've often felt like a burden, unintentionally occupying the space meant for others. This idea of becoming smaller for survival is woven from a narrative that highlights the importance of conforming to the role of a compliant and well-behaved “good girl” as the only way to be accepted and successful. According to this archetype, the “good girl” should be quiet, polite, and avoid seeking her own desires. The drive to shrink oneself isn't just rooted in the “good girl” philosophy; it's also fueled by a desire for control propagated by a society that expects women to be unassuming, obedient, and rule-abiding. These tight boundaries stifle our potential, suppress our ambitions, and mute our voices, diminishing our dreams and muting the vibrance of our imaginations. Over the past year, as I dedicated myself to creating more and more drawings for this body of work, I noticed a distinct change: a shift in the story being told. The narrative extended beyond just my sense of Smaller . Some of the pieces, gestures, and symbols began conveying something entirely different—some even grew louder, asserting themselves. I started to feel the emergence of my voice, rising distinctly, confidently, and audibly. As this evolution unfolded before me, I aimed to find a title that captured the juxtaposition between past trauma and current growth, along with the duality of living a life of both merely surviving and flourishing within each day. My aim is to reveal and share the emotional spaces where I've felt disarmed by life's challenges, as well as how I've learned to arm myself, to protect and empower myself. My experiences of feeling disarmed exposed me to vulnerability and defenselessness in the face of life's trials. While my journey has included trauma, my journey hasn't only been about vulnerability; it's been a path to empowerment. Through my artistic expression, I want to highlight the moments of transformation where I've intentionally armed myself against both internal and external adversaries. I have strived to capture not only the conflicts but also the victories—instances when I've crafted my own armor from resilience, self-awareness, and determination. As I have come to realize that my voice isn't quiet or “smaller," it confidently reverberates within my work. As my confidence in my voice grows, so too has the scale of my drawings. By exploring these emotional landscapes, I hope for the work to connect with others on their own paths through disarmed vulnerability to armed self-empowerment as new voices grow from within.

AUG 29 - JAN 3Rose Sellery is a multidisciplinary, self-taught artist whose work navigates the charged terrain between beauty and brutality, fragility and strength, and tradition and rebellion. Through humor, irony, and unflinching confrontation, she explores themes of innocence and loss, societal pressure, resilience, and survival – inviting viewers to reflect on how lives, particularly women’s lives, are shaped, constrained, celebrated, and discarded. Sellery transforms everyday materials into evocative sculptural narratives. Her work reimagines objects such as glass slippers, garments, and boxing gloves, imbuing them with layered meaning and emotional resonance. Whether through shattered forms, unconventional materials, or conceptual garments, each piece exposes the tension between vulnerability and power while honoring personal and collective stories. Her sculptures create space for reckoning, recognition, and transformation, challenging the inequities and expectations imposed on women. A storyteller at heart, Sellery brings a sharp, satirical awareness to the social ills and contradictions of contemporary life. Her irreverent approach incorporates a wide range of materials – metal, bone, fabric, cigarette butts, rose petals, and photography – chosen specifically to serve each concept. The result is a body of work that is humorous, thought provoking, and at times unsettling, often moving viewers to reflection, laughter, or tears. Raised in Venice, California, Sellery now lives and works in the mountains of Santa Cruz. Her creative path includes years in the ceramics industry, woodworking and jewelry, experiences that continue to inform her tactile, materially driven practice. She has also played a significant role in the local arts community, serving as Program Coordinator at the Cabrillo Gallery and as a driving force behind FashionArt Santa Cruz, later co-founding Pivot: The Art of Fashion. Rose is currently co-owner and curator at MK Contemporary Art in downtown Santa Cruz and the founder of the Ripple Effect Arts Festival. Rose Sellery: Fragile Strength AUG 29 - JAN 3 Now on View in the Permanent Collection Gallery Plan Your Visit < Back Marquee: Tension , vintage shoes, resin, steel, acrylic Overview My work begins with contradiction. I am drawn to the space where beauty and brutality coexist, where fragility becomes a form of strength, and where humor can carry the weight of difficult truths. Through sculpture, conceptual garments, and photography, I explore the complexities of our lives – how we are shaped, constrained, celebrated, and, at times, erased. I use everyday objects and materials as a visual language – glass, fabric, metal, bone, found objects – transforming them into narratives that hold both personal and collective memory. These materials are never neutral; they carry histories, expectations, and cultural weight. By altering or recontextualizing them, I expose the tension between innocence and experience, adornment and restriction, protection and harm. Humor and irony are essential tools in my process. They create an entry point, disarming the viewer just enough to engage with subjects that can be uncomfortable or confrontational. Beneath that surface, my work addresses issues of gender bias, societal pressure, resilience, and survival. I am interested in the stories we inherit, the roles we are asked to perform, and the quiet or radical ways we resist them. I think of each piece as a kind of evidence – of endurance, of contradiction, of transformation. The objects I create are not static; they hold emotional residue and invite interpretation. They ask the viewer to reckon with what is seen and what is implied, to recognize themselves or others within the work. Ultimately, my practice is about holding space: for vulnerability and power, for grief and humor, for anger and tenderness. It is an ongoing act of witnessing and reimagining—an attempt to make visible what is often overlooked, and to honor the complexity of lived experience.

< Back Devon Blood AUG 15 - JAN 17 Intrusive Thoughts At twenty-six, Devon Blood was on the cusp of change. A tattoo artist rising through the ranks of the Oakland, post-Y2K underground arts scene, a dedicated skateboarder, and devoted boyfriend. One fateful night in 2006, that was shattered when a botched home invasion and robbery left him with a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head. The cumulative result of that night resulted first in a series of medical miracles – Blood recovering inexplicably from a coma, managing severe hemiparesis and atrophy on the dominant side of his body, and continuing to suffer to this day from after-effects of the invading bullet resting on his brainstem. Then, a series of remarkable triumphs – Blood learning to tattoo and expand his artistic skills cultivating his left side, publishing a book (Keep Laughing) about his experiences, and developing an entirely new portfolio based on his newfound aesthetic. Today, Mr. Blood is the proud father of two, a featured story for Vans during their Pass the Bucket campaign, more recently the subject of a Hearst Television special featured on their subsidiary KCRA Channel 3 Sacramento, and a rising talent in the modern art world. About the Artist: My name is Devon Blood. Third generation San Franciscan. I grew up in a working-class family, with a strong, single mother, and seven siblings. Things were tough, but what made it tougher was my struggle with undiagnosed OCD. This condition is the framework of my whole life, during my highest highs and lowest lows. It's the one thing that's never left me, not when my best friend died, not when I survived a near-fatal shooting protecting my girlfriend, not when I learned how to tattoo and paint with the left side of my body after suffering hemiparesis. This exhibit is the culmination of my experiences, good times and bad, and of the journey through some of my greatest dreams and worst nightmares. It's a twisted tribute to my firm conviction in life that no matter who you are, or what you're going through, you have to stay up, stay strong, and above all else - keep laughing. This is the Intrusive Thoughts exhibit. It marks a particularly personal chapter in my life, and I hope you enjoy it, maybe even reflecting on your own experience through something that challenged you. Previous Next
