Second Night: Trace Element brings together the photography-based work of artists George Kimmerling and Linda Lauro-Lazin in an exhibition that offers a moving meditation on natural cycles, the multi-sensory experience of plants, and the ability to find hope in the darkest days. Kimmerling's photographs are from his 2025 series "…the vitality of what will be…," created while wandering gardens in January looking for plants that had held their own against whatever winter hurled at them. As winter wore on, the project became a way to cope with a growing post-inaugural despondence and see the world on a scale larger than the daily news cycle. Lauro-Lazin's work in Trace Element began in 2020 on the eve of the pandemic, during her Wave Hill Winter Workspace Residency, where she examined the ephemeral nature of certain night-blooming flowers and transfigures the blurred edge between blossoming and fading. Her work here includes archival pigment prints and interactive animations.

UnEARTHED by Soli Pierce: Inspired by the natural world's inherent balance and mystery, the work in unEARTHED bridges personal and environmental narratives and invites viewers to contemplate the interplay of origins, connectivity, and spiritual introspection. Here, Pierce presents sculptures created with reclaimed industrial materials, extracted petrified wood, and encaustics, as well as long-exposure landscape photographs and monoprints on handmade paper. Overall, her choice of materials and subject reflects her commitment to bring awareness to the disappearing natural world and climate issues.
