Inter/States: A Dynamic Group of 12 Artists

Saturday September 20, 4:00 PM - Sunday November 16

Craven Contemporary 4 Fulling Lane Kent Barns Kent, CT

Craven Contemporary is excited to team up with Last Days Gallery to announce a new show Inter | States curated by New York City-based artist Michael De Feo. The show opens on Saturday, September 20th, with a reception for the artists from 4pm to 6 pm.

Inter | States brings together a dynamic group of twelve artists whose practices traverse personal and psychological landscapes. The exhibition features a single work each by Rick Briggs, David Kennedy Cutler, Loren Erdrich, Ashley Garrett, Kurt Lightner, Rob Ober, Janis Provisor, Nathan Ritterpusch, Carol Saft, Aaron Michael Skolnick, Mary Temple, and Ben Weiner. The artists all live and work in New York City, upstate New York, or Connecticut.

Through painting and sculpture, Inter | States explores the boundaries of inner and outer worlds where memory, identity, and place intersect. The title suggests both geographic and emotional terrains, reflecting the artists’ diverse approaches to transformation and connection across physical and conceptual boundaries.

The exhibition invites viewers to consider how shifting states shape our experience of the present.

Assemble (Cut, Burn, Stitch) with Care

Saturday November 1, 4:00 PM - Sunday December 21

Kenise Barnes Fine Art -7 Fulling Lane Kent, CT

Assemble (Cut, Burn, Stitch) with Care

Dates: November 1 – December 21, 2025
Reception: Saturday, November 1, 4 – 6 PM, public invited

Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to announce Assemble (Cut, Burn, Stitch) with Care, a compelling
group exhibition featuring works by Laura Petrovich-Cheney, Tristan Fitch, and Carolyn Millstein. The show invites viewers to explore the transformative power of materiality and process through the lens of three innovative contemporary artists.

Each artist in the exhibition engages with acts of destruction and transformation as metaphors for resilience, memory, and reconstruction. Petrovich-Cheney’s sculptural assemblages repurpose salvaged wood into vibrant geometric compositions. Fitch’s work evokes tactile narratives through surfaces of pit-fired porcelain and hand-hewn found wood. Millstein’s stitched metal wall pieces weave together personal and collective histories with quiet intensity. The materials carry histories, scars, and stories that unfold across the surfaces of their work.

Assemble (Cut, Burn, Stitch) with Care offers a rich visual dialogue that bridges fine art, craft, and design, inviting reflection on the beauty of found materials, the possibility of transformation, and embracing unpredictability.
