HomeEc

(The show was placed today. As soon as it is up, I will post images.)

Below is the announcement posted by Lori Neuenfeldt:

"HomeEc considers domestic influence in the work of Summer Carmack, Nick DeFord, Joe Ford, Rowan Haug, Paul Loughney, Jenna Richards and Cara Sullivan. The multi-media exhibition showcases photo-collage, ceramics, fiberart, photography and sculpture.

According to the show’s organizer, Adrienne Callander, 'Each artist references domesticity directly or indirectly, in content or process.' This can be done with materials, technique, or subject matter. For example Nick DeFord utilizes stitching and other craft methods to explore notions of identity and space while ceramicist Jenna Richards directly states the intent to use textile process and domesticity as inspiration for her pieces.

The exhibition is open June 1–28 in the Cullis Wade Depot Art Gallery, second floor of the MSU Welcome Center next to Barnes and Noble Bookstore. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m."
