Her upcoming show “Frescos/Drawings” will be on display from October 2nd-October 26th in the back gallery at Oxbow Gallery. Avril writes about her creative process “I move between working from nature directly and working from the dictates of imagination. I like to think that memorizing will more fully inform my invention. However, it’s the urge to make something without knowing what – to allow it to become only in the doing, that really interests me. I like to be surprised.” Don’t miss the artist reception during the Easthampton City Art Walk from 4-7pm on Saturday, October 4th! Find out more at https://www.kaminiavril.com/

Vivian Bresnitz Photography
2025-10-04 - 2025-12-28 | Dry Humor, 79 Union Street, Easthampton, 01027, United States
Vivian is a graduate of NYC’s School of Visual Arts (class of 1982) with a BFA in Photography. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. After college, she worked in professional photo labs in NY and RI. In 1991, she shifted gears, moving to western MA to become a Massage, Polarity and Neuromuscular Therapist, taking a hiatus from photography.
In 2014, a friend reignited Vivian’s phot passion with a gift: his retired pro DSLR camera. She assisted him and other professional photographers at weddings and events, eventually going out on her own, building a portfolio, including high school seniors, family portraits and professional headshots, all while remaining a full-time massage therapist.
While the 2020 pandemic slowed the event work, it opened time for long walks in the neighborhood, the woods and beyond. Always with a camera, isolation and “getting out” made everything seem fresh. Observing the spatial layout, the color, shapes, textures, the vastness…seeing the ‘stories.’ She’s always trying to bring these visions “home” to the viewer, to experience or urge them to see for themselves.

ECA Gallery Invitational
2025-10-04 16:00 - 19:00 | MA
Making Meaning / Marking Time
ECA Invitational October 2025
Cati Bestard and Michael Medeiros
ECA Gallery // October 4 – November 12, 2015
In our 20th anniversary year, ECA is considering the passage of time and the moments that have marked our organizational impact, shaping how we look forward and project our aspirations into the future for arts and culture in Easthampton.
In this spirit of marking time, we look to the work of artists Cati Bestard and Michael Medeiros, whose respective photographic and ceramic installation works animate this year’s ECA Gallery Invitational. Bestard’s photographs, which take advantage of the medium’s visual capture of a moment in time, show us something more partial and fractured. Having used outdated film from the precarious era of the financial crisis, the photo processing is incomplete and the materiality of the prints are evasive of something purely representational. The photos embody the instability wrought with time, layering eras marked with instability onto the likewise rocky present tense. In holding multiple temporalities, they undermine a sense that a singular moment can stand alone, and the common feeling that a photograph represents a scene exactly.
Medeiros’ ceramic works and installation are inward-facing, reflecting on the passing of the artist’s father—a watershed moment in life—and how the impacts of his father’s time in the Vietnam war inflected their relationship and its legacy. Ceramics, as an intensive and process-oriented medium, likewise holds time within it much like photography. Even the use of clay as material—old as dirt—carries durational meaning. It is marked by a handmade quality, imprinted by an artist literally in the moment of its making.
Time is elastic, layered, and punctuated by events both personal and shared. Bestard and Medeiros each approach these qualities through their respective media and embrace the multiplicity of temporalities embedded within them, and invite asynchronous engagements that continue to develop.
Making Meaning / Marking Time will be accompanied by events featuring performance, a time-based art form, to continue to expand on and offer additional layers to the works of the exhibition. Co-curated by Pasqualina Azzarello, Easthampton Arts & Culture Program Director, Tracey Eller, ECA Committee Chair, and E. Maude Haak-Frendscho, ECA Committee Member.

Artist Statement
“I love scavenging for “experienced” objects, recognizing their shape and form, rather than function or by the context by which I know they them. I appreciate the ordinary as well as the exotic or extravagant. The curve in a spindle, the patina of chipped paint or oxidized metal, the grain of weathered hardwood, bobbins, latches and all sorts of odds and ends inspire me to integrate a variety of materials, textures and color. I create something new with old and discarded relics. Over time things weather and change and this can be beautiful and graceful when brought together.
My artistic journey revolves around the transformative power of reclamation and reinterpretation. With careful curation, I breathe new life into these remnants, crafting visual tales that resonate with both nostalgia and innovation.
I aim to uncover the inherent beauty in the weathered and the imperfect, offering a fresh perspective on what is often overlooked. Each piece is a testament to the potential of discarded relics becoming part of a greater whole and being cherished treasures once again. I invite viewers to reconsider their notions of value and aesthetics.”
