Etherton Gallery’s newest exhibition, To the Dark and the Endless Skies, opens with a reception on Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. Featuring the photographs of Kate Breakey and Samuel James, this exhibition illuminates the delicate beauty of moths and fireflies, underscoring their vital role in the health of our ecosystems. Breakey’s intimate portraits of moths and James’ incandescent images of fireflies elevate these often-overlooked creatures, transforming them into potent symbols of fragility, inviting reflection on our relationship with the natural world and the urgent need for conservation. Together, their photographs evoke a reverence for nature’s impermanence and the biodiversity we must protect. Works by Nika Kaiser, exploring the profound connections between humans and the environment, will be on view In the Cases.
