Solastalgia juxtaposes of our attachment to the beauty and comfort of a known place with a sense of anticipated or observed loss, “a form of homesickness one gets when one is still at ‘home’” (Albrecht, 2007). The work of nine artists explores this combination of solace and pain, generating both appreciation and anxiety in the recognition of our changing natural world.

The exhibition opens Saturday, April 7th with a reception 5-7 pm and runs through April 29th. For more information: dedeeshattuckgallery.com/april-exhibition
