Meditative Transformation: Lauri Dunn March 1 - April 2 Valkarie Gallery Gallery Hours: Wednesday 4 - 7, Thursday 4 - 9:30, Friday 4 - 8:30, Saturday 12-6, Sunday 12 - 5 Opening Reception: March 3, 5 - 8:30   In this exhibit, artist Lauri Dunn transforms images of insect wings into meditative, modern photographs and photo sculptures. "My work is inspired by the natural world, but I bring my love of the urban environment to each piece with strong contrast, geometric forms, and metallic resin coating," Lori writes. "I begin each piece by photographing an insect that I have rehydrated and spread. Each wing has something extraordinary, whether it be the color, the texture of the scales, or the beautiful shapes that repeat themselves and I photograph them in a way that emphasizes these attributes."
