Cory Peeke’s work in “Cut Adrift” explores the imprecision of memory — memories that we hold on to and those that hold on to us, inexact and temporary. Ladders, boats and beds allow us to go beyond our body’s limitations, to resist Earth’s gravity, to float or dream. Like memory, they allow us to transcend our bodily constraints, but also, like memory, they are conditional.
“Lonely Together,” by Cory Peeke, displayed at Made in Astoria.
“Metal + Fire + Stone” features the modern and organic jewelry of Michael and Martha Grano, a husband and wife duo who work individually and collaboratively to combine straight lines and colors with polished metal and rugged stone to create inventive, tactile jewelry.

Two local artists, Lindsey Aarts and Karina Andrews, present landscapes inspired by the North Coast in “Ebb and Flow.” Working in mixed media collage, often on a miniature scale, Aarts considers her surroundings through a lens of rhythmic transformation and contemplates ways to interact with our natural environment.
“Wordfish 2,” by Christine Trexel, on display at RiverSea Gallery.
Andrews, a woodblock printmaker, creates atmospheric landscapes stripped to their essential, natural forms. Each work explores the dichotomy of stillness and energy present in the natural beauty of the North Coast and reflects on the longing for a glimpse into the eternal.
Astoria artist Christine Trexel produces innovative renditions of handbound art books and book art assemblages. For this show, she has invited friends to collaborate with her: ceramicists, weavers, embroiderers, woodworkers, printmakers and painters.
Nina Vidal, of Portland, offers a show of gemstone beaded jewelry. She’s known for her selection of natural stones, particularly opals, intricately stitched beadwork, and for color shading effects created from gemstone beads. Meet the artists from 5 to 8 p.m. and enjoy live music by John Orr.
