A Personal Ecology, an exhibition created by Louisa Bermingham and curated by Jasmine Lee, opened on March 6th, 2026, in the Rick Faries Gallery. A Personal Ecology presents a collection of paintings within an expanded installation that incorporates driftwood, suspended branches, shelves, and handmade objects including ceramics, sewn forms, and decorative ephemera. These elements are arranged throughout the gallery to create a spatial relationships that explore ideas of interconnectedness, impermanence, and the quiet accumulation of meaning through everyday observation.
A Personal Ecology invites viewers to reflect on how memory, place, and everyday objects shape our surroundings and inner lives. Visitors are encouraged to experience the exhibition, to consider each object, element, scene as contributing to a broader narrative about connection, memory, and the relationship between people and the natural world.
