	Regular Gallery Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-5pm Description: Bering & James in
	vites you to their exhibition of Filament: Elisabeth Smith\, John Jenk
	ins and J. Antonio Farfan\, November 8-24.Filament is a collaborative 
	exhibition between J. Antonio Farfan\, John Jenkins and Elisabeth Smit
	h.  According to Jenkins\, "what was originally a three artist exhibit
	 has become an exchange of views and philosophies."  The three artists
	 have questioned each other\, each other's art and the creative proces
	s. They have found that while each artist's process\, style and creati
	on are wide ranging\, the thread is humanity.  Elisabeth Smith explain
	s\, "Placing ourselves within a story is uniquely human. The thread-li
	ke brushwork in these paintings represents our desire to knit our uniq
	ue events into a larger common experience."  Farfan states\, "The cont
	inuing investigation of the Universe and its patterns has led me to vi
	ew human civilization\, its rituals and ornamentation\," and Jenkins q
	uestions\, "What are the connections between family\, friends and stra
	ngers?" His Human Dynamics  series works with the threads that connect
	 and the spaces between.  Farfan\, Jenkins and Smith will exhibit indi
	vidual and collaborative works in "Filament". J. Antonio Farfan unveil
	s his newest works dealing with the history and transcendent nature of
	 the precious metal\, gold. Created on an intimate scale he invites th
	e viewer to explore these microcosmic worlds. Farfan's ability to crea
	te entire universes in a small space are used to new effect in these w
	orks.John Jenkins has dealt with visual conceptions of genetics\, time
	 travel and the ordering of chaos. For the new Human Dynamics works\, 
	Jenkins examines the space between us and the dynamics that drive us. 
	Similarly\, the large work\, Turning Point\, explores the concepts of 
	human imagination and potential in his unique visual poetry.Elisabeth 
	Smith presents a new series of mystical and magical environments in co
	lor that envelope the viewer like the mists of a dream. Smith's ongoin
	g investigations of the human psyche are visually translated into drea
	mscapes and color fields that evoke emotions and moments seen through 
	the haze of memory.
