Mourning What’s Not Yet Lost

Mourning What’s Not Yet Lost, an exhibition of work by Cleveland Institute of Art student Tamsyn Kuehnert, will explore the world from above. Using earth-derived pigments, sewing techniques and scrap materials, Kuehnert’s paintings are abstracted topographical maps that serve as a reflection of our natural world from a new perspective. With the dread that comes with the news of the climate crisis, these paintings take on an optimistic role. With artistic renditions of the natural world, each painting searches for beauty while still acknowledging the ongoing despair.

An opening reception will take place on Friday, May 26, from 5 to 7pm in the Welcome Gallery at Summit Artspace (140 E. Market St., Akron, OH 44308). The exhibition will run through June 17 and can be viewed during Summit Artspace’s public hours on Fridays from noon to 7pm and Saturdays from 11am to 5pm.

Some work in Mourning What’s Not Yet Lost was created through CIA’s Creativity Works program, which is made possible by the generous support of the Fenn Educational Fund and the G.R. Lincoln Family Foundation.
