The Hutchinson Art is proud to feature the work of the Society of Layerists in Multi-Media (SLMM) for the months of October and November.

The founder of the group, Mary Carroll Nelson, explains the premise of SLMM:

“The Society of Layerists in Multi-Media (SLMM) is a network for artists who express a holistic perspective in any style of medium. Layering is not a label for a specific technique, such as collage. It is a way to think about creating art as a synthesis of ideas from many sources: the sciences, philosophy, metaphysics, experience, and imagination. The layers in Layered art are the references and meaning that the artist brings to the work rather than the materials used to create it. As a society, we are focused on the intentions of the artist.

Layering is an evanescent metaphor that grows like moss from living and learning. Often there is a sense of something "other" than the visible in Layered art. The kinship among Layerists is their openness to inspiration from all aspects of their lives and their shared perception of an underlying connectedness to everything.”

This exhibition is on display in our Front Gallery from October 20th to November 18th, 2023, with an opening reception on Friday, October 20th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.
