Rahshia Sawyer: Within the im/balance
Rahshia Sawyer is a conceptual photographer based in the DC area. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Foundation Francois Schneider, and Radford University Museum. Her current projects focus on the relationships that exist between beauty and humanity and its balanced (or imbalanced) interaction between reality and fantasy. Her figurative floating silk panels dwarf the viewer, disconnecting them from reality, and recreating their singular emotional struggle with loss — an experience we all share. Come experience the art for yourself at the reception, May 13, 6-8 pm.

The band is comprised of four of the most talented and promising young acoustic roots musicians in the country: Patrick McAvinue on fiddle, Brad Kolodner on clawhammer banjo, Sean McComiskey on button accordion, and Alex Lacquement on upright bass.
“This quartet isn’t afraid to take roots music to new places but always with an eye on tradition.” – Washington Post
