Joanna Gabler: IRIDESCENT  DIMENSIONS
Marjorie Kaye: OPAQUE DIMENSIONS
Iridescent Dimensions explores the shifting nature of perception through paintings that shimmer with luminous, rainbow-like color. The title comes from the word iridescent, derived from the Latin iris — rainbow — describing colors that change with light and perspective. As the viewer moves through the space, the paintings continuously transform, revealing new layers of color, depth, and emotion.

The exhibition is inspired by Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow, associated with communication, messages, and new beginnings. In mythology, Iris was seen as a bridge between heaven and earth — a symbol of connection between visible and invisible worlds. For Joanna Gabler, this symbolism reflects a long-standing artistic exploration of inner landscapes, consciousness, and the subtle energies that exist beneath the surface of ordinary perception.

Through light, movement, and fluid color, Iridescent Dimensions invites viewers into a contemplative space where reality feels open, shifting, and interconnected — a place where color itself becomes a language of transformation and wonder.

In Opaque Dimensions, space is broken down as it emerges from the center, with a combination of organic and geometric sensibilities. It is done almost ritualistically, the patterns repeating themselves within patterns, different shapes emerging from similar dissections of the surface. One shape determines and inspires the next, and there is a balance between intense detail, and the different modalities of precision involved. The works are one continuous piece, accessible fractals. Details emerge from one basic pattern into a vast array of shapes. It is a net that comprises the structure of what is not necessarily perceived by the senses.

Opaque Dimensions gives a hint that facets of reality exist far beyond the capability of our eyes to fathom.
