Her work usually recalls microorganisms and human anatomy.&nbsp; Martin makes ethereal objects out of paint and mediums. She allows for the happenstance while constantly making choices on what and what not to keep.&nbsp; Thrane works in encaustic using layered monotypes that often reflect her interest in science. Some of her work is cut and &ldquo;sewn&rdquo; together with staples creating paper sculpture.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps because these three artists are kindred spirits, their work fits together.</p>\r\n","name":"Exhibitions","organization_type_id":"7","district_id":"6","telephone":"+18474321888","website":"http://www.theartcenterhp.org","email":"info@theartcenterhp.org","hours":"M–Sa 10–4","location":"1957 Sheridan Rd.
