Ripple Effect

by Elizabeth Mackie

Curated by Lily Gilston

June 7 - 27, 2025

Ripple Effect by Elizabeth Mackie is a sensory-rich exploration of movement, place, and transformation, inspired by the ever-shifting rhythms of the Delaware River. Through video, handmade paper, and collaborative soundscapes, Mackie captures the interplay between body, environment, and time. The exhibition invites viewers to experience change not as rupture, but as a continuous flow— fluid, immersive, and deeply reflective.
