Sender/Receiver

By using pastel colors, which are both vivid and gentle, Eric Lubrick provides viewers a serene moment to absorb his message in Sender/Receiver. This photographic series employs advanced techniques like high-speed sync, a sound-activated trigger, and layered images to explore the ability of photography to freeze motion. Extending beyond freezing single moments, the series combines fragments of time to offer a complex narrative, encouraging viewers to ponder the fluid nature of reality.

Harrison Center Artist Transforming Surrendered Guns into Art

In his latest project, Harrison Center artist Quincy Owens, is sparking dialogue about gun violence by turning guns into art. Through the Marion County Youth Violence Prevention Coalition, Owens has dismantled 32 surrendered firearms and is transforming the pieces into works of art.

"Things created with these gun parts will at least create the opportunity for a conversation that might not have otherwise existed," Owens said. "Then, it's a table, and who knows what happens when everybody gets at that table and starts talking."
