Gallery Exhibit: Iterations by Laurel Lukaszewski. Through March 7. Tony Hungerford Memorial Art Gallery, Hank Willoughby Foundation Center for the Arts (FA Building), La Plata Campus at 8730 Mitchell Road in La Plata. “Iterations is both a literal interpretation of the same subject matter case in different materials and a more flexible examination of imagery that I’ve returned to again and again in my work,” Lukaszewski said of her work. “In particular, I continually return to the figure of the rabbit throughout my work. The rabbit, in all its forms, represents a childhood obsession – an unfulfilled desire to possess and love something soft and vulnerable. In my work, these creatures symbolize all the things I have desired but could not have – simultaneously embodying dreams and disappointment.” Free admission. https://www.csmd.edu/calendar/2025/01/iterations-laurel-lukaszewski.html.
