'From the Depths' brings together three Vermont-based artists whose diverse practices intertwine to explore resilience, memory, and transformation. At the heart of the show is Niki Frankenstein’s deeply personal mixed media work, created during a year-long reflection following a hospitalization for depression. Her sculptural pieces—rich with found objects and emotional resonance—act as anchors, inviting viewers to confront darkness while seeking out glimmers of hope. Supporting and amplifying this journey is Dierdra Michelle, whose vibrant, color-saturated works break from realism to offer a bold and expressive counterpoint, channeling community, connection, and an unwavering artistic spirit. Adding a third dimension, Jim DuVal’s textured paintings draw from his roots in tattoo and pop culture to reveal organic forms and quiet emotional depth, bridging the seen and unseen. Together, their works form a dialogue between internal landscapes and shared environments, creating a show that is as introspective as it is visually dynamic.
