THING TWO: Heidi Taillefer: Esemplastic
March 5 - 29, 2026
'Esemplastic' brings together Heidi Taillefer’s hybrid beings into a unified vision where organic, mechanical, and mythic elements merge into cohesive living forms. The exhibition’s title references the imaginative power to shape many disparate parts into a singular whole, reflecting Taillefer’s ongoing exploration of synthesis across time, biology, and technology. Her paintings reconfigure classical icons and archetypal animals as intricate composites of anatomical structures and machine-like components, animated by both ancient vitality and contemporary unease. While these figures suggest technological augmentation, they remain deeply embodied and emotionally resonant, emphasizing instinct, vulnerability, and persistence over cold futurism. Rather than presenting a dystopian future, Taillefer’s work underscores the inescapable continuity of the human condition, reminding viewers that even as bodies evolve and merge with technology, they remain rooted in myth, memory, and the primal forces that define being alive.

THING THREE: Locomotion of Light & Time
March 4 - April 25, 2026
Locomotion of Light & Time, will be a solo show of cameraless photography by Bay Area artist Moira McDonald. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the work in this show represents the purest form of photography with light, time, and mark-making. McDonald writes:
“These cameraless photographs are extended & direct exposures of days to months within the elements. Uniquely marked by timed experiences together, each composition is made by inviting and then capturing the locomotion of its own slow-moving image. These are photographs of long deep breaths, of atmospheric shifts, of tropospheric drifts. Pictures of foggy summer mornings, autumnal afternoons, the cold short days of winter & everything in between; though no details would hold beyond the light that had been seen.”
Locomotion of Light & Time will be ON VIEW from March 4 - April 25, 2026. Please join us for the OPENING RECEPTION on Saturday, March 7, 2026 from 2 - 5 pm and the ARTIST TALK on Saturday, April 4, 2026, from 3 - 4 pm. The talk will be moderated by Allison Railo, Curator at New Museum Los Gatos.
