Opening Reception:

Feb 17th from 1-4

RAW Gallery - 112 E Main St.

The exhibition Mindful Cycles of Hope features the work of Matt Swift, incorporating three distinct types of art: abstract expressionist action painting with the help of a robot vacuum, meditational photography with digital manipulation, and video installation and mixed media experimentation. Each piece is accompanied by detailed information to enhance and deepen the viewer's understanding and appreciation of the artwork. For more work by Matt Swift.

As part of Mindful Cycles of Hope, at 2:30pm the artist Matt Swift will lead a short meditation on drinking. Meditation and mindfulness are a foundation of the works in this show and the artist’s creative practice. The artist will invite those at the reception to take a few moments to turn their attention to the drink they have in their hands, take a few deep breaths and focus on the marvel of the liquid that fills their cup and how that liquid is connected to a larger existence we often take for granted.
