Richard Chamberlain:
Journey
March 28th-April 13th, 2025
This series is a reflection on the aspirations of the human spirit and its evolution through and beyond its material condition. Most of what you see here is new, with a sprinkling of earlier work. Inspiration comes from imagery found in The Seven Valleys by Baha’u’llah. Expressed in metaphoric language, it is a mystical journey which is neither linear in space nor time delimited. These pieces are material representations of whatever limited understanding I could glean, expressed viscerally through the creative act, thus short-circuiting didactic assumptions and predetermined ideologies. There is no final destination in this journey. The seven valleys might be traversed in an instant or over a lifetime, in any order or cycled through repeatedly, more or less expansively, depending on one’s experience, condition and receptivity in any given moment. They are as follows:
• The Valley of Search
• The Valley of Love
• The Valley of Knowledge
• The Valley of Unity
• The Valley of Contentment
• The Valley of Wonderment
• The Valley of True Poverty and Absolute Nothingness
As you view the images in this exhibit, which stage(s) of the spiritual quest do you think is reflected in each? No prepackaged answers provided here: The journey is yours.

Time
March 7th- April 13th, 2025
Time is both an abstract concept and an undeniable force that shapes our lives. In this body of work, members of NEXT Gallery explore the fluidity and complexity of time, capturing its passage, memory, and the tension between permanence and change. Through a blend of mediums and processes, we reflect on the ways time can feel both expansive and constricting, evoking moments of reflection and anticipation. Each piece in this collection invites viewers to pause and reconsider the rhythms of their own existence, contemplating how time intersects with our memories, experiences, and the world around us.
