"Understories," an exhibition that reveals the hidden beauty of the natural world, opens Thursday at the Women's Art Center of the Hamptons in Bridgehampton with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The six artists show both the visible and invisible forces that shape our connection to the living world.
Robin de Plessis transforms natural artifacts gathered on her walks into layered photographs. Laurie Lambrecht creates abstractions from deconstructed painting and landscape photography. The human body, animals, and nature are central to Kiki Smith's work.
Abstraction and color express Anne Seelbach's environmental concerns. Tiffany Shlain's themes include feminism, philosophy, technology, and nature, while Marianne Weil uses bronze and glass to evoke geological and archaeological processes.
The show will continue through Nov. 9.
