Modern Fuel presents, in its State of Flux Gallery, a new series of drawings by Michael Amar entitled Solar Flares and Spires. Amar states that the images are about “faith in science and religion.” In them, the spires symbolize religious traditions while the solar flares represent the scientific search for meaning, as light symbolizes an ability to “see.” The realm of reason and the incomprehensible converge at a crossroads in these drawings.

Finding inspiration in cast off or undervalued objects, Kingston-based artist Jane Derby transforms them and grants them a second life. Wrestling with the limitations of lowly, everyday materials, such as empty soup cans one would usually put in the recycling, Derby pushes their physical properties to the point of transcendence.
