ATLA is pleased to present the group exhibition Primordial Procession, highlighting the works of Olive

An opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 28th from 4-7pm.

​

Primordial Procession is a collective passage—part exhibition, part contemplation—that channels the

raw, elemental forces that have shaped our world since time immemorial.

To process is to move with intention; to call it primordial is a return to the source—to the earth’s

earliest tempo, where procession embodies movement itself, and their convergence forms a natural

symbiosis.

​

In this group exhibition, the artists lead us through landscapes of fictionalized and seemingly familiar

memories, grounded in the natural world. The imagery functions like ancient glyphs, inviting

interpretation through unexpected connections and reminding us that the image remains one of the

earliest—and most enduring—forms of communication.

​

Working in paint, glass, rock, and ceramic, the artists trace nature’s deep currents, creating a visual

glossary—one that can be reassembled into a language at once familiar, renewed, and enduring.
