Jennifer Terzian Gallery is pleased to present OFF THE GRID, a two person exhibition featuring works by Carly Glovinski and Cory Emma Siegler. The show is on view through June 28.
Read as an expression, Off the Grid positions the work in a space of craft sensibility and domestic themes. Both Glovinski and Siegler’s work is closely tied to the idea of the grid as a generative framework- for patterning, quilt making, book layouts – a guiding process that allows for each artist to lean into or break away from. Off the Grid considers the visions of two artists who are invested in labor-intensive methods of creating while exploring the rhythms of repetitive processes. Glovinski and Siegler portray the material world through a unique vocabulary of personal observation, resourcefulness and tenderness involved with making by hand.

Books will be available for purchase
The Seasons of the Flynns
In 1960s America, traditional values are giving way to new perspectives on love, politics, and women’s place in society. Against this turbulent backdrop, The Seasons of the Flynns charts the intertwined fates of Sara Michaels, a college student set on an acting career, and Bob Flynn, a young Bostonian struggling to emerge from the shadow of a domineering father.
Having married and found a home in the suburbs of New York, Sara and Bob seem settled on a conventional course in life. But they soon find their union troubled by unresolved questions about who they are and what they want for themselves. Can Bob stay committed to his young wife and his corporate law job while more exotic possibilities beckon? Will Sara have to trade her dream of a life in the theater for the role of suburban wife and helpmate? As they struggle with these quandaries, their lives are transformed in ways that reflect the changes roiling the society around them.

Local author Steven Gleason took up fiction writing after a decades-long career in international affairs. He published a novella, “Carmen’s Passion,” in December 2022. His first full-length novel, “The Seasons of the Flynns,” appeared in March 2024.
