Press Release

NY2CA Gallery is pleased to present In the Realm, a solo exhibition by interdisciplinary artist, writer, and cultural worker Nanette Wylde. Wylde will be exhibiting works on paper (monoprints) and handmade artist books (artwork which takes book form). In the Realm considers relationships that humans enact with and upon the natural world through Wylde's distinctive, hybrid media approach.

Wylde's work is deeply rooted in using narrative as a lens to explore the complexities of human perception, societal constructs, and environmental consciousness. With a background in Behavioral Science and an MFA in Interactive Multimedia and Printmaking, her artistic practice blends research with creative expression, offering thought-provoking insights into the systems and stories that shape our world.

A Professor Emeritus of Art and Art History at California State University, Chico, Wylde has exhibited widely. Her artist books, prints, and electronic works are held in international collections. She is the co-founder of PreNeo Press, a conceptual space dedicated to fostering creative projects that celebrate the Art Life.

The exhibition will open with a reception at NY2CA Gallery on March 22, 5–7pm, featuring music by Karl Hartmann.

About The Rhinoceros Project Sewing Circle

The Rhinoceros Project is a socially engaged art collective that creates platforms for contemplative artmaking, through community sewing circles, papermaking happenings, absurdity, and wonder.

On March 30, from 1–4pm, The Rhinoceros Project will offer a community sewing circle at NY2CA Gallery in Benicia. During our sewing circles, visitors are invited to sit and sew with us, while engaging in conversation and community. These events are free and open to everyone and all ages. All materials are provided. For this event, we will be sewing a monumental map of the path of the Francisican Missionaries, from Mexico City to Sonoma, considering California history and what it means to us today.
