Jasmyne Graybill creates mold, like the kind that appears on a month-old café au lait or blueberry pie. Though rather than generating a science-fiction fungi apocalypse, Graybill chooses to draw attention to the beauty of organisms grafted onto host objects. Her upcoming exhibition, opening Saturday at Women & Their Work, focuses on nature adapting to the home. more ›

From the desktop, one may rely on the digit-click judgment that Brister's work is wholly caught up in William Hundley's flow and simply move on to the next bit of content without a further thought, but in person, the power of this comparison weakens. Brister's two photos at Women and Their Work are much more buttoned-up and ready for a waltz. They anchor to an earlier history of landscape photography and portraiture and get at something quieter and more contemplative than Hundley's slash and splash imagery. more ›

On this dreary June day, many of Austin's art galleries will be celebrating the openings of vibrant new exhibits. Consider enhancing your day by checking out one or more of the following events... In what can only be described as a perfect fit, Austin based Leah DeVun's latest show Our Hands on Each Other is opening tonight at Women and Their Work Gallery.

For tonight's opening, DeVun will build a new collective women's space as part of a performance piece. Viewers will be invited to help construct the wooden structure and pay homage to feminist past and present. more ›

In Central Texas, we have limestone and water to thank for creating some of our favorite natural destinations; Barton Springs, Hamilton Pool, and Inner Space Caverns are just a few of the rock and water formations we seek out on a regular basis. Houston artist Kia Neill has spent the last few years recreating structures that have been perfected in nature by rendering them in everyday materials like paper-mache, chicken wire, Christmas lights, and typical craft store standbys like paint, glitter, and rhinestones. On Saturday, her latest exhibit Terrain opens at Women and Their Work Gallery. For Terrain Neill will focus on the above ground landscape where us terrestrial beings haunt. Inside the gallery, patrons will walk through an environment of artificial rocks, handmade stalagmites, and geodes sparkling with the help of crushed CDs and LED lights. The opening reception for Terrain will start at 6pm and Neill will give a talk about the installation at 7pm. more ›
