Kimberly Wetzel's Evocative Landscapes Featured in “Closed Door, Open Field” Exhibition

The Northeast Sculpture Gallery will host the thought-provoking Closed Door, Open Field exhibition, featuring Kimberly Wetzel ‘17 and Rahim Hamid.

The exhibition delves into themes of estrangement and displacement through various artistic media, inviting viewers to explore the emotional landscapes of alienation and focusing on concepts such as home, nation, and personal identity.

Wetzel, a multimedia artist based in St. Paul, draws inspiration from her North Dakota upbringing and the contrasting elements of the prairie. Her abstract works on canvas and paper, enriched with soft sculpture elements, address themes of loss and nostalgia, focusing on childhood spaces and landscapes that have become inaccessible.

Closed Door, Open Field promises to offer a profound exploration of personal and collective experiences of displacement, inviting visitors to reflect on their connections to these intangible yet significant concepts.
