Call me when you’re home
Bella Vitale, Emily Miller, and Madeline Penzel
May 1 - 21, 2025
Call me when you’re home explores three artists’ relationships to ‘home.’ Vitale captures displays of comfort and domesticity through sculpture and printmaking, translating the joys and surreality of their relationships through depictions of ancient fables and mythical beasts. Tangentially, Miller’s vibrant paintings explore fragmented memories of her home in Ireland, depicting home as a moving memory throughout these presentations. Furthermore, Penzel employs fiber techniques such as quilting, weaving, and soft sculpture, placing classic American fiber motifs within her unique artistic language to visualize her definition of home. Together, these artists present an expansive, nuanced landscape of objects that seek to understand what looks like, feels like, and constitutes a ‘home.’

Transitory Worlds
& Material Ecosystems
Ellie Dale Anderson and Kayla Visintine
October 2 - 23, 2024
In this two-person exhibition, artists Ellie Dale Anderson and Kayla Visintine investigate entanglements of memory, place, and change through material experimentation and transformation. Multimedia installations explore the boundaries of natural phenomena and human intervention, interweaving ecofeminist narratives with considerations of ephemerality, transience, and artifice. Through these material negotiations, Transitory Worlds & Material Ecosystems highlights systemic complexities and presents a series of possibilities for both natural and human-made ecosystems.
