Murmuration

Opens at Laconia Gallery on February 6, 2026

By turning a wheel, the viewer makes shadows play across the four classical elements — Earth, Fire, Water, Air — recalling how patterns in nature echo mythic narratives, and connect the movement of the sea to the singing of the spheres. Walking through the piece, visitors can imagine rejoining the deep-time dance of our Planet.

Fire and Shadows: mixed media, 90” x 60” x 60”


Fugitive Colors: a 3D graphic novel by Katha Seidman and Laurie Kaplowitz

Fugitive Colors tells a dystopian tale of what happens when people are denied their individual voice and identity; when a once benign technology is subverted into an oppressive surveillance aparatus; and when people are stripped of their inalienable birthright of Color — their kindness, wonder, curiosity, dreams and vitality.

“A FUGITIVE COLOR IS A PIGMENT THAT, WHEN EXPOSED TO EXTERNAL FORCES, CAN CHANGE, LIGHTEN, DARKEN OR EVEN ALMOST DISAPPEAR.”


Keep the Top Eye Open

An immersive shadow play, Keep The Top Eye Open invokes an incident on the Underground Rail Road when a space of racial equity briefly kept at bay the violent enforcement of white supremacy. 



Once There Was A House by Katha Seidman and Laurie Kaplowitz

Through the lens of the famed Villa of the Mysteries, a first-century Roman house destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in Pompeii in 79 A.D., this installation envisions what materializes when a home collapses in a catastrophe.


Night Walk

A three-dimensional narrative that juxtaposed the beauty of woods in moonlight with the anxiety every woman feels when she walks alone.
