Join Harvey Preston Gallery & Aspen Collective for an intimate evening with Into the Fold artists Savanna LaBauve and Lindsey Yeager. They will take us through the content, context, and process of their ceramics and painting (respectively). Come meet the artists!

Harvey Preston Gallery, in collaboration with Aspen Collective, is pleased to present a two-person exhibition featuring works by Roaring Fork Valley artists Savanna LaBauve and Lindsey Yeager. At first glance, these ceramic and painted works may appear dissimilar; however, in this debut exhibition together, LaBauve and Yeager explore common concepts of finding one's place within the world, how the choices we make set us on a path, and searching for a way back to one's self through the mess of it all.

The title of the show, Into the Fold, developed naturally in conversation between the artists while getting to know one another as well as each other's work. It became apparent there is a relationship between Yeager's compositions of painted flora and fauna and LaBauve's void-like objects in shape and form. Both echo modularity, the collection and arrangement of items, and the idea of this "other place." While Yeager's paintings feel like framed niches and folded reflections, LaBauve's ceramic objects frame and embrace the negative space, creating voids and portals. Both celebrate the space between and understand that sometimes the only path is through – or, in this case, Into the Fold.

This is the inaugural Guest Curated exhibition at Aspen Collective and the first of two scheduled exhibitions curated by Sam Harvey of Harvey Preston Gallery. "Part of Aspen Collective's mission is to give a venue to other talented curators in the valley, and Sam Harvey was a natural fit. Sam has been a passionate supporter of the arts in the Roaring Fork Valley for decades, and we look forward to showcasing the talented artists he represents," says D.J. Watkins of Aspen Collective.

Into the Fold will be on display from October 25th through November 17th, with an artist talk on Thursday, November 14th at 6:30 pm. The Aspen Collective gallery space, located at 213 S Mill St, Aspen, CO within the historic Wheeler Opera House, will be open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 11 am to 6 pm. While Sam Harvey is the Guest Curator at Aspen Collective, the Harvey Preston Gallery will remain open by appointment.
