The Alexander Gallery is pleased to announce "this is from that," a solo exhibition of work by artist Tom O'Day, which opens in the Alexander Gallery Jan. 6 and runs through Feb. 7, 2020.

These processes include material organization and chaos, installation, exhibition, storage and destruction. Tom O'Day is a Washington state artist and educator.
