“Wickryth” by Dane Hansen The “Wickryth” collection is an introspection of the first year of Hansen’s musical journey since starting his project in the dungeon synth genre. The runic Wickryth symbol is at the heart of the collection and can be found scattered throughout the artwork and hidden in its logo. The meloncholic passages of his dark ambient dungeon synth, he conjures under the name Wickryth, transports the listener through mental landscapes of medieval forests and ruins.

“Center Points: Then…Now…Always”by Teresina Pavel Teresina Pavel’s artwork always has a centerpoint: often times explicit, sometimes implied. Shapes, lines and colors reflect one another like visual echoes; but shift in intensity, tone and direction. With her background in art education and art therapy, she finds that making art takes her on an emotional journey, as she creates images and patterns that help give order to what could be chaos.

Remaining on display until October 19, “KAPOW! Mighty Mythos,” provides an opportunity to view a curated selection of vintage comic books, toys, ephemera and original artworks.
