‘The full complexity of the tree’

“The Space Between: Silver” (diptych photo), by Michele Crockett, in the group show “A Celebration of Trees,’’ at the Jamestown (R.I.) Art Center through Oct. 3.

The gallery says:

"The artists in this exhibition grapple with the full complexity of the tree, an entity whose gravitas far exceeds its physical form, They see in it a mirror of our own humanity….The tree, both armature and destroyer, shelter and symbol, ultimately asks us to consider what it means to be a part of, not separate from, the living world."

World on fire

“Fruit of Silence, Panel #3,’’ by Entang Wiharso, an artist who lives in Rhode Island and Indonesia, in his show “Meta Landscape,’’ at the Jamestown (R.I.) Art Center, May 14-June 18.

The gallery says:

“{His} recent work focuses on the duality of cultures and experiences in his two homelands, building on ideas that connect spirituality and transcendence with national narratives about progress and destiny through a sustained exploration of landscape and geopolitical structures.’’
