Geometric Abstraction Mauro Marinelli, Michael George and co-creator Laura Dale George.

Mauro Marinelli became a Photographer because he couldn’t draw, not a lick. The camera allowed him access to a life in art. But he still had this undeniable urge to paint.
While living in NYC he frequented MOMA almost weekly.
There was one grand room or space with pale grey walls that he had often rushed through. On one occasion, on one fated day, he paused, and stopped in the THAT room. And was granted his wish to paint. The room of Malevich, Mondrian & Theo Von Doesburg. They spoke to him. They touched him with the awakening stick of enlightenment.

Ceramic artists Michael and Laura Dale George are thrilled to announce their work will be exhibited in "Geometric Abstractions" at the Gallery at South Hill. Together for eight years, this is their first collaboration on a full series of pieces, which explores the interplay of mathematical precision and the organic implications of clay worked by human hands. The work invites you to search for symmetries and emergent patterns in the handmade interlocking geometrics. Pieces on display explore the themes of vulnerability and guardedness, and draw inspiration from kusudama, platonic solids, Celtic knotwork and ancient armor.

NYU Argentinian-Romanian-American student, Andrea, is determined to explore her Argentinian roots despite her mom's reluctance to discover her own deep connection to Los Desaparecidos and Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo. Who is Andrea's real Abuela: Clara, who disappeared in Buenos Aires during the Military Junta, or Beatriz, who raised Andrea's mother, Mariana? Andrea's father, Bogdan, an immigrant who escaped a dictatorship that persecuted gay people in Romania, is on Andrea's side. Bloodlines and lifelines collide and intersect in this story about 4 generations of women and their role in shaping histories/her-stories.
