Opening October 10th

WheelHouse Art is pleased to announce our next featured exhibition, Entanglement, a solo exhibition by Valerie Sullivan Fuchs. The exhibition opens with a reception for the artist on Friday, October 10, 6:00 - 8:00pm, with a conversation with the artist at 7:00pm. Entanglement continues through November 22, 2025.

Entanglement is one of WheelHouse Art's featured exhibitions participating in the 2025 Louisville Photo Biennial. Fuchs has been a pioneer in the Louisville Art scene combining uniquely Kentucky based landscapes and scenes with new media. This exhibition will feature work on paper, aluminum, videos, and installation and exemplifies WheelHouse Art's commitment to progressive Kentucky art and artists who strike a balance between contemporary flair and traditional charm, fitting comfortably in both modern and traditional spaces.

“From living my life in a forest near a creek, I sense an illusive, invisible interconnected energy with nature that feels like an acknowledgement: ‘there you are, and here I am’. I try to visualize this mysterious presence of presences, through the layering of images taken during walks in snow, misting rain, sunlight, under a canopy of clouds and crisscrossing branches resonating with the soft and low cadence of the creek.” -Valerie Sullivan Fuchs

Valerie Sullivan Fuchs is a conceptually based artist who works with new media, sound, video and installation to encounter the relationship between nature, industrialization and each other. She was raised on a sustainable farm, where she and her family raised most of their food and heated their home with firewood in rural Kentucky. She still lives in rural Kentucky with her two children and husband.

Fuchs has exhibited her work at the Speed Art Museum (KY), 21c Museum Hotels, Kentucky Museum of Art + Craft, Carnegie Center for Art and History (IN), Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art (IN), The School of the Art Institute, Chicago, (IL), and at numerous other venues throughout the United States and Internationally.

WheelHouse Art is also pleased to feature the photography of Mark Lee Webb, with two new series of works, TINY 'SCAPES and BENT.

Mark Lee Webb is inventing new ways to view the world through the lens of a camera. Sweeping landscape vistas shrunk down to the size of greeting cards. Distorted vestiges of weekend celebrations. Contorted children’s toys. And, abstractions extracted from everyday life.

TINY ‘SCAPES feature black & white images heavily influenced by the great landscape photographers of the past, such as Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, as well as contemporary landscape photographer Clyde Butcher. But, instead of the very large prints typical of the genre, Mark has created tiny intimate images no larger than 4 inches by 6 inches.

Photographs in the BENT series are slightly skewed, reality-bending still life images.

Mark Lee Webb received his MFA from Queens University of Charlotte. His photographs have been included in several juried exhibitions including WideOpen (Athens, OH), used on the covers of several university journals such as The Penn Review, and exhibited with the Louisville Photo Biennial.
