You’ll revisit the past, jump forward generations, explore historic waters, and ultimately reconcile a fraught familial relationship.

Opening Reception: ‘Presentiment’ featuring work by Emily McIlroy, Paula Gasparini-Santos, Sarah Darlene Palmeri, and Alli Lemon. 5-8 p.m. March 4, Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder, thedairy.org
Presentiment showcases the work of four artists all separately and collectively using their practice as a means to process the internal turmoil that teems within the human experience. A balance of intuition, connection to personal emotional terrain, and the desire to traverse an unknown landscape permeates the work on view throughout the exhibition. From large-scale explorations of grief that manifest in gorgeous Wildernesses to small-scale interactions between pattern and material, all artists on view tap into their inner selves as a way to create a connection to the outer.
