Artist Reception for Tim Michel: DELTA
"It was fitting to learn that one meaning of Delta in Greek is change.
The beautiful organic forms are full of life: flowing, merging, returning, coursing. The water created forms are reminiscent of tree branching and blood vessels. Comets and stars find their way naturally into many of the pieces too as cosmic harbingers and reminders to look up.
The shows' etchings, stencils, and sculptural metal plates are my celebration of this rich, beautiful geologic form."
Tim Michel lives and works in Free Union, Virginia, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He holds a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Virginia.

Chroma Projects presents contemporary art locally and from the MidAtlantic region. Painting, photography, 3-D, and installation work are exhibited in our monthly changing exhibitions. Chroma's most recent iteration is the transformation of a bank vault into a Micro Gallery, located on the main floor of Vault Virginia. The entrance is along the side of the grand old bank building on 3rd Street, S.E. (across from The Front Porch music school) and up the staircase or elevator to the main floor.
Visitors can explore the gallery during viewing hours from 10 AM to 4 PM, Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday openings.
It is advisable to check about getting into the space by emailing Deborah at artlab@chromaprojects.com
