Several new exhibitions opened for the summer at LHAC, two among them being Lindsey Kennedy and Josh Skinner’s “Thaw Line” and Yanira Vissepó’s “Water Meadows.” “Thaw Line” is a photography series that depicts both the intimate and expansive parts of nature and humanity’s relationship with it. Kennedy’s photos capture nature’s power through fires, frozen waterfalls and overtaking plants, with a reflection on the balance between beauty and destruction. Skinner’s black and white photos contain a ghostly human presence, with subjects like abandoned construction sites, trailers and deer stands. “Wet Meadows” features textile paintings of native plants and terrain of both Vissepó’s birthplace in the Caribbean Sea and her home in the American South. In making the pieces, she discovered connectivity in flora native to both places and researched their holistic properties, finding healing in her creative process. The artists’ discussions will reveal more about their ideas and processes in creating these exhibitions, which will be on view through Aug. 30.
