Upcoming Exhibits
Natural Collections
Our July exhibiting artists incorporate collections from home, nature, and personal history to create their unique works. In her intricate, patterned, ceramic sculptures Kelly Jean Ohl explores the magic of texture through her use of familiar household tools and kitchen utensils. Vicki Essig uses delicate weaving and found objects to show the contrast between the fragile and the strong in her quietly translucent works. Using objects he has collected since childhood, Dan Essig creates mixed-media book structures using fourth-century binding techniques incorporating unusual woods, handmade paper, fossils, and mica.
Sense of Place
Our four August exhibiting artists are inspired by a sense of place, texture, and the human experience. Wade Brickhouse draws inspiration from his frequent moves and resulting loss of being rooted to a place. He creates his paper wall sculptures which reference dwellings both ancient and modern. Inspired by the beauty of things imperfect and impermanent, Brooke Marks-Swanson's paintings on metal evoke introspective investigation into the Midwestern landscape. Holden McCurry and Ed Byers create much of their work collaboratively in their studio space. Their textured ceramics reflect on life's symbolic journeys by fusing rich colors and organic forms with architectural influences.
