Goldmark Cultural Center’s Ruth Andres Gallery will present "Raw Light," an exhibition of new installation works by Goldmark artist Sheridan Hines.

The reception is an ideal time to meet the artist and learn about her artwork. "Raw Light" is an immersive installation that confronts the psychological residue embedded in the objects that surround people, those that haunt, hurt, and help shape their identity. Centered in the space is a cube of synthetic "skin," exposed yet contained, surrounded by hanging red cellophane, its transparency and fragility a veil that both reveals and obscures. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of memory and discomfort. In the corner, a dilapidated chair glows under the oppressive weight of red light. Perched nearby is a doll, weathered, uncanny, its presence more spectral than comforting. These objects are not props, they are witnesses, stand-ins, and echoes of familial trauma, domestic unrest, and personal history. This work invites viewers to reflect on the inanimate companions of their lives, the ones that stay long after people leave.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through July 27.
