The pop-up show will conclude with a slide jam and closing reception on Sunday, December 14th, 1:00 – 3:00 PM.
About the Artists
Natasha Hovey translates genetic mapping to large-scale ceramic installations. Jera Rose Petal Lodge’s bold, geometric, sculptural wire jewelry, adorns a wall as gracefully as it adorns the body. Mathematical graphs and symbols seem to morph into dynamic spatial compositions in Alexis Myre’s mixed-media wall pieces. Collette Spears meticulously carves intricate patterns on her double-walled ceramic ware. Rena Wood embroiders time and memory onto her constructed and deconstructed textiles.
