Mark Bettis Gallery announces a new art show featuring Molly Jo Burke, beginning September 13th, 2025, at Bettis’ River Arts District Asheville gallery. This showcase, titled “TERRA FLUXUS”, Latin for Land Flow, captures the beauty of earth, its natural environments and the ebb and flow of movement in natures steady shift using glass and mixed media assemblages.
“Terra Fluxus”, exhibition will run from Sept 13th, 2025, through Sept 27th, 2025, at the Mark Bettis River Arts District Gallery located at 123 Roberts St. Asheville, NC. The gallery is hosting an opening night reception on Saturday September 13th from 4 pm to 6 pm. The reception is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served. All works will be available for purchase.
Molly Jo Burke explains with this recent body of work it is in the movement and flow of the glass colors as they are threaded on to the body of the sculptures and vases, or creating stacks of glass, similar to the playful creations of cairns created by carefully arranging and balancing rocks in nature.
Highlighting color, form, texture and the opportunity to play on moments in natures patterns that are similar between disparate areas. Such as vines tangling and massing, bursting occasionally with flowers and seeds, or rock textures with bursts of moss or sediment, inclusions of transparent and opaque in the stone, with some moments of disruption made by man-made architecture.
