Mayme Kratz’s "To Know the Dark" presents recent resin works built from seedpods, branches, bones and other remnants from the desert around Phoenix. Sanded to a matte finish, the pieces turn botanical forms into galaxies, night gardens and starbursts. Titled after a Wendell Berry poem, the show treats darkness as a way of seeing, while the "Vanishing Light" and "Glimmer" series embrace looser, freer forms.
