Intimacy is a term that encompasses a complex range of relationships and emotions.
We have intimate relationships with children, spouses, friends, and lovers. Many of us feel a keen sense of intimacy with ourselves, with an animal, or with a place that holds special significance. A sense of intimacy can be inspired by music, by a work of art, or by nature. Although intimacy is universal, it is also a highly individual experience that is – by nature–private and secret. Intimacy can describe a sense of personal space, or of nakedness and unmasking, with layers removed. And although it can feel intense or even tangible, the essence of intimacy – like with many emotions – can be hard to capture.

Voice of the Land: A Quiet Cartography
A Perri Lynch Howard Solo Exhibition
February 24 - April 18
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 28, 5 - 7 p.m.
Sound is the quiet architect of Perri Lynch Howard’s creative practice. Through deep listening, field recording, and analysis, Howard translates the invisible vibrations of a landscape into tangible form. This exhibition captures the soundscapes that define our environment but often elude the senses. By bridging the gap between what we hear and what we see, these artworks invite you to reconnect with fragile ecosystems - near and far - through the simple, profound act of listening.
