Lorie Hamermesh: Into The Fire

On View: May 8–June 5, 2026
Reception: Saturday, May 9, 1–3 pm

My life advances like the candles on a cake. Each flame marks a year, a loss, and a continuation. The fire does not fade with time but intensifies to reveal passion and contradiction…My work is not about innocence, but clarity — an affirming resilience forged by the acceptance of self, loss, and the power of longevity.

— Lorie Hamermesh
