Time Dilation is a visual conversation between artists Jon & Lindsey Merrell, shown through individual, and collaboratively layered, works. The phenomenon known as time dilation is a component of the theory of relativity, and refers to the differing rate of time and realities measured by two clocks. Jon and Lindsey are those two clocks as they take a hard look at the differences & similarities in their experiences over the last 5 years, navigating lockdown, family dynamics, a life-threatening accident, and a terminal diagnosis, together. It has felt like a blink of an eye, yet an eternity.

On View: Dec 5th - Dec 27th
Opening Reception: Dec 5th, 5-8pm
Terrain Gallery Hours: Thursday-Saturday 4PM-7PM

The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present an installation of works by painter by Kelly Packer. Please visit the exhibit between Feb. 3, and March 22, 2026.

"Here Living Again Living Here" is a collection of color-imbued cityscape paintings and drawings inspired by Butte, America. The work leans into the recognizable but is as imperfect as a memory. Like the changing landscape of Butte itself, this selection represents an evolution of paintings spanning the 11 years the artist has lived there. The work is paired with poetry by her husband, Adrian Kien.
