Amelia Briggs is an interdisciplinary artist working in fiber, painting, and installation. Her work investigates themes of interiority, memory, and transformation through plump whimsical forms that switch between the familiar and the uncanny. Through processes of sewing, cutting, stuffing, layering, and assembling, materials become vessels for embodied experience, in which personal history is absorbed and transformed into new forms. Briggs has been an artist-in-residence at Wassaic Project, Monson Arts, and the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.

Her work has been widely exhibited including exhibitions at The Hole (Los Angeles, CA), Art Basel (Miami, FL), Numeroventi (Florence, Italy), Boston University (Boston, MA), The High Line (New York, NY), Bowes-Parris Gallery (London, UK), and Cohle Gallery (Paris, France), among others. In 2019, Briggs began a collaboration with renowned designer Kelly Wearstler, which continues today. This partnership has been featured in Vogue, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, The New York Times, Surface, and Domino.

Presented in collaboration with Deanna Evans Projects.

TESS BILHARTZ AT MAIN WINDOW.

‘Waves’ is on view 24/7 during Dumbo Open Studios weekend, April 18-19.
.
.
.
Bilhartz grew up in Dallas, Texas and currently lives and works in New York City. Her paintings and installations build on a lineage of artists who conceive a world beyond visible reality. She works with imagery from storytelling genres like fantasy, sci-fi, and horror that create familiar containers for extreme, absurd, or hidden feelings. She layers symbols like monstrous teeth, a distorted shadow, or an alien handprint with materials such as paint or pencil. Over time, this layering transforms the image to embody tangled interior states.

In the spirit of these genres, she uses this process to suggest that perceived reality is like the surface of a river with hidden currents moving beneath. Bilhartz creates deliberately confounding images where invisible layers of colors and marks structure the visible surface. Ambiguity reigns. Cropping obscures the story that unfolds out of frame. What caused that impression in the sand? Whose hand is resting on a rock? Why is the figure transparent?

This irresolution reflects an interior life that might feel familiar to many: conflicting emotions, changing sense of self, and unsettling unfixed boundaries.

JOIN US : Sunday, March 22 from 1-3pm for a closing reception. 1 Main Street. All are welcome.
.
.
.
Beck Lowry is a mixed-media artist whose intricate, wall-hung abstractions explore themes of protection, labor, and lineage. Drawing on the language of the natural world and on canonical histories of craft, Lowry’s assemblages are made of carved plywood, woven with crochet thread, and layered with oil paint, fabric scraps, and other materials. Their process arises from a need to build, to exert physical energy through ritual, and to connect to the long lineage of makers—from ancient stone carvers and weavers to the carpenters, boat builders, and jewelers in their own family. Blending tradition and innovation, Lowry explores the evolving relationship between craftsmanship and narrative meaning and a curiosity about the power of objects to embody memory, resilience, and transformation.

ARTIST RECEPTION TONIGHT!

Join us for the opening of Circumambulations, a site-specific installation by artist Ben Cowan.

Thursday, November 6
6-8pm
1 Main Street, Lobby
.
Circumambulation is the act of walking around something, often in a ritualistic context. The paintings in this series are modular and activate the space where they hang. There is also a looping animation component, allowing the works to live in a kind of digital afterlife. The motion of the objects contained within the frames and their framing of sacred architecture, refer to how we create systems to understand death, grief, and loss, through things like metaphor and ritual, and simultaneously reflect on the hope of rebirth and continuing cycles of life.

Cowan’s work has been shown in solo and group shows throughout the United States including New York City’s Deanna Evans Projects, 550 Gallery, The Painting Center, and Spring Break Art Show. He has been featured by Manifest Gallery’s International Painting Annual and The Brooklyn Review, and also mentioned in articles from cultbytes.com, The Wall Street Journal, and Vice.com. Cowan’s work is in private and public collections including The University of Scranton, Ann Arbor District Library in Michigan, and The Rockefeller Archive Center in Sleepy Hollow, NY.

On view 24/7 from November 6, 2025 through January 8, 2026.
