Alberta St., opens its January show with a reception for the m onth’s featured artists on Saturday, Jan. 4 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. In the Main Gallery, Shannon Passon presents her recent encaus­ tic and mixed media work, Connec­ tivity. Her exploration spans the more physical and tangible forms of energy creation to the ways we are connected on a molecular level. Sam Hingston, a sculptor work­ ing in primarily wood and various media, focuses on capturing things like motion, an exerted force, or a particular feeling. In Guardino’s Feature Area, Chi M eredith’s egg tempera paintings range from detailed narrative works to non-objective images. In her paintings she places people, ani­ mals, and objects in situations that can be incongruous and sometimes ironic or humorous. ‘Every New Way, ’ an encaustic painting by Shannon Passon.
