Irvine Fine Art Center's first exhibitions of 2022 Mirror and Terrain explore notions of self and place.

Featuring work by Gretchen Batcheller, Perin Mahler, and Kaitlynn Redell, "Mirror" explore ideas of fragmentation and ambivalence, prompting viewers to consider the boundaries between the real and imagined and the fragile delineation between the personal and the social.

Beth Davila Waldman and Alkaid Ramirez's works in "Terrain" use photographic methods to document the shifting nature of place and community, drawing upon nuance, material experimentation, and sentimental gestures to create works that beckon viewers to remember the past, interrogate the present, and contemplate the future.

Both exhibitions will be on view January 29–April 16.
