THIRD FLOOR
Old Growth
Colleen Wise September 16-December 6, 2026 Wise began the process of creating Old Growth in 2020 when the Covid- 19 pandemic created time and space for her to set up a marbling studio in her backyard. Over time, the tree rings became more stylized, and the process became more experimental. Wise explored painting, Inktense pencils, discharging, ice dyeing, shibori, sheer overlays, silkscreening, sgraffito (rubber cement), and quilting using gromets rather than stitches. Early in the series, Wise's tree rings told the stories of fallen giants. Overtime, they began to express the artist’s story; what it's like getting older, the challenge of living with Parkinson’s Disease, the impact of a family member struggling with mental health issues. |
SECOND FLOOR
Pieces for a Piece Curated by Youngmin Lee and Miran Lee Participating Artist: April EJ Oh, Caitlin Parker, Dong Kyu Kim, Miran L. Lee, Yoko Kubota, and Youngmin Lee June 3, 2026 - November 15, 2026 Pieces for a Piece brings together six artists whose work is inspired by bojagi and jogakbo, the traditional Korean patchwork cloth made by stitching together small remnants of fabric. Historically used as wrapping cloths, jogakbo transformed discarded fragments into objects of quiet beauty—balancing practicality with a refined sense of composition and care. Working across different cultural backgrounds and artistic practices, the artists reinterpret the language of patchwork in distinct ways—through memory, migration, landscape, ecology, consumer culture, and the experience of home. Their works reveal how fragments, when patiently assembled, can hold traces of time, labor, and lived experience. As fragments gather into a piece, these works invite us to consider how making—slowly, patiently, by hand—continues to shape the ways we live. |
