You can’t slow time down; you can’t speed through life. You have to take it as it comes, repeating mantras like “It is what it is” or “C’est La Vie.” Resisting time is futile, but that won’t stop Melissa Dickenson from wrestling with it in her art. The San Francisco-based artist uses the canvas to reflect on the passing of time, focusing on transitional states, by layering surfaces and deceptive facades. This series of work, called Portal, opens at The Texas Theatre’s Safe Room (231 W. Jefferson) and will also include Spinning, a piece Dickenson created during a three month art residency in a jail cell. See it during the opening reception at 6 p.m. Saturday or anytime through September 13. More info at thetexastheatre.com.
