For Third Thursday, artist Tara Youngborg (tara youngborg) held an interactive sonification workshop, teaching participants how to create a web page that can turn information from your computer or phone into sound!

Youngborg creates installation, video, and electronic and interactive artworks that are rooted in questions of how our technological processes reflect human experience. Through her featured exhibition Abandonware [houses], Youngborg focuses on the deserted town of Frenchtown and their abandoned railroad system, engaging with the town’s archive in conjunction with contemporary data to try and recreate a ghost without its community. Through glitch, loss, and (visual and sonic) layering, the sound and video installation questions the role of data, archives, and recreation in understanding place, loss, and memory.

Please visit the gallery Tuesday - Friday, 12PM-6PM and Saturday & Sunday, 12PM-5PM to view Youngborg’s exhibition (on view until Sunday, June 28th).

Ashley White
Fried, Dyed, and Laid to the Side, 2025
Embroidered collage on paper, hand dyed cotton
25 x 21 in.

In her exhibition Water, Fiber, Form: Stories of Black Hair, Ashley White (Ashley White (Ashlee Ellis Ross)) explores the intersections of material, culture, and identity through textiles, ceramics, and collage. By highlighting hair as fiber, White challenges conventional distinctions between adornment, craft, and fine art, positioning braiding, weaving, and repetition as both process and language. Working across what she describes as water, fiber, and form, White uses material to examine transformation and continuity — water acts as a catalyst, shaping and softening, while fiber carries lineage and connection.

Please visit the gallery Tuesday - Friday, 12PM-6PM and Saturday & Sunday, 12PM-5PM to view White’s exhibition (on view until Sunday, June 28th).

Rick Bach
Sculpture
6 inch square (each)
90 piece installation

Through his featured exhibition CUT, Rick Bach (Rick Bach) explores strength and resilience working from nature with unnatural materials. Plasma cut enameled steel is cut into thousands of shards, destroying the material’s strength. The shards are then composed as objects regaining their strength both structurally and aesthetically, while exploring the beauty of creation, destruction, and rebirth. The work is both made and unmade — built with intention, but open to interpretation.

Please visit the gallery Tuesday - Friday, 12PM-6PM and Saturday & Sunday, 12PM-5PM to view Bach’s exhibition (on view until Sunday, June 28th).

Ashley White
Heddle::Hand, 2025
Cotton, synthetic braiding hair
80 x 24 in.

Multimedia artist Ashley White (IG: ) explores the intersections of material, culture, and identity through textiles, ceramics, and collage in her currently featured exhibition, Water, Fiber, Form: Stories of Black Hair. Through large-scale textile installations, woven hair tapestries, and ceramic vessels that hold, anchor, and expand fiber, the exhibition creates a layered environment where structure and movement coexist. Collage works extend this narrative, assembling fragments of image, pattern, and texture into visual stories of cultural memory and self-definition. Together, these works challenge conventional hierarchies of craft and art, honoring the labor, ritual, and innovation embedded in everyday practices while inviting viewers to reconsider what is seen, valued, and preserved.

Please join us at Hillyer this Saturday, June 13th at 1pm for an artist talk with Ashley White, where she will discuss the meaning and inspiration behind her work!

Free to the public (a $10 donation is suggested)

Visit the gallery Tuesday - Friday, 12PM-6PM and Saturday & Sunday, 12PM-5PM to view White’s exhibition (on view until Sunday, June 28th).
