CONFIGURACIONES
Laura De Valencia
November 2023 – January 2024
Through an investigative process of map-drawing in her youth, contemporary artist Laura De Valencia developed a unique connection with borders, land, and water. Drawing maps has always given her insight and an intuitive understanding of how surveyed geographical features were manually depicted through lines, grids, and geometry — elements that later emerged formally in her paintings.

Marlo Ransdell
October 6 – November 7, 2023
Sheets of acrylic and plywood are transformed through purposeful fabrication methods in designer Ransdell’s exhibition. She sheds light on mathematical and digital design methods within the world of contemporary furniture design. This showcased collection is part of a process… an unfinished idea that continues to grow and evolve. Through this process, Ransdell illustrates how design concepts and collaboration can bring customization to simple furnishings in our daily lives.

HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
Susan Hable
April 13 – May 19, 2023
With materiality at its core, Susan Hable’s body of work is an exploration of gesture. In combination with fervent investigations of form, texture, and color, the inherent movement present exhibits a fresh physicality; viewers will sense a performative aspect in each sculpture and painting. Employing traditional mediums such as clay and oil, the work is as expressive and alive as their original source, the earth.Â

Leah Gossett + Tenee Hart + April Webb
January 12 – February 22, 2023
When traditional concepts of home evolve and items within have outlived their functionality but maintain their cultural significance, what does that say about where we live? Dedicated to materiality, this contemporary exhibition is meticulously crafted through ‘handiwork’ methods passed down by women across generations.
