PENCE GALLERY. Waltz of Life & Limb pairs recent sculptural paintings by artist Mercy Hawkins, with her vibrant, large-scale watercolors on paper. Her biomorphic shapes, formed of intersecting dots, dashes, and lines, speak to a sensory play of color, light, and movement. Her imagery evokes seed pods, flower buds, or microscopic creatures, immersing the viewer in an all-encompassing perception of nature. 11:30a—5p. Free
