Florilegium and HomeWork

Florilegium 
From clichéd and mundane floral decoration to images that capture moments of ephemeral beauty, flowers are laden with symbolic and cultural significance. Leaves, fruit, flowers, and vines are found on ceramic vessels on every continent across the millennia. They symbolize love, reproduction, and death—the essentials of life. Florilegium will explore floral imagery in contemporary ceramics through the work of artists who use flowers both decoratively and conceptually. Curated by Ursula Hargens, the exhibition will include artists: Joan Bruneau, Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker, Rain Harris, Rebecca Hutchinson, Jae Won Lee, Kate Maury, and Julie Moon.

HomeWork
​HomeWork, an exhibition by Jennifer Rogers, is a three-part, multi-media installation. The parts will come together to present a quiet, dramatic landscape of ceramic objects surrounded by a large, soft, canvas cloud and a hand-stitched embroidery piece. Calling attention to process, form, and material, the work connects three different, yet similar approaches to the repetitive making processes of coiling, stitching, and assembling to construct simple modular forms.
