**"Corrosion Blooms" by *Brooke Fotheringham [ https://brookefotheringhamart.myportfolio.com/ ]*
Exhibition Dates:* October 14 - January 1, 2024

*The Art on Main Gallery is featuring an installation made of mixed media acrylic, polyester and photo paper lenticular triptych titled "Corrosion Blooms" by artist Brooke Fotheringham. The artist states that "this lenticular triptych is an exploration of entropy and corrosion, a daydream about how the universe is continually breaking things down to their base elements in an infinite cycle of rebuilding. Infrastructure crumbles as oxides grow and bloom out of them. The generative and destructive no longer opposites, but rather a series of reactions and evolutions on a shared continuum."
