SUMMARY:Anahita (Ani) Bradberry: Spectral Field
DESCRIPTION: \nOPENING: September 19\, 2025\, 6–9 PMGALLERY HOURS: Thurs – Sat\, 2–8 PM\nSpectral Field is a newly commissioned plasma sculpture installation by Austin-based artist Anahita (Ani) Bradberry that investigates the mindset required to imagine the unfathomable: the baffling cosmic scales of stars\, time\, particles\, displacement\, loss\, and interconnectedness. The exhibition seeks to offer an atmosphere of contemplation and lucidity\, observing the moment when an idea that seems too vast is transformed into a visceral and comprehensible feeling.  \nIn choreography with the cycle of the sun and moon through the gallery\, the work is both a constructed celestial environment rooted in place and time as well as a psychological space for communing with the ineffable. Visitors are invited to spend time with the work\, from the day to evening hours\, to watch and consider the passage of time. \nThe installation will include aspects of Bradberry’s collaboration with scientist Christopher M. Johns-Krull\, a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University\, as part of the Open Interval Cohort—a collaborative program for artists\, scientists\, and art organizations—awarded by the Simons Foundation’s Science\, Society and Culture division. \nRELATED EVENTS\nFriday\, September 19\, 6–9 PMOpening Reception Artist and Curator Talk: 6:45 PM \nSunday\, September 21\, 2025\, 11 AM – 12:30 PMSun Day Inprint Writing Workout \nABOUT THE ARTIST\nAnahita (Ani) Bradberry (b. 1993\, New Haven\, CT) is an Iranian-American artist and writer creating sculptural situations with plasma light.
