Concurrent Solo Exhibitions by Lynne Riding and Yvette Dede
Lynne Riding has a strong connection to the ocean, both as an artist, observing the fluctuation and effect of the elements, and as a past competitive windsurfer and sailor dealing with these same elements of nature. In her exhibit, In the Air ~2, Riding presents a collection of abstract mixed media works that stem from the place and surroundings in which she finds herself, from color observed, a line seen in space, or the found object. In Yvette Dede’s exhibit, Lowcountry Laurels, the artist uses graphite, charcoal, and pastels to depict the organic form of oysters abstractly, experimenting with scale, compositional structure, and mediums. More than just choice morsels, the ubiquitous shells of these bivalves serve many purposes, both decoratively and environmentally.
