"Never Better"
On view from May 2 - June 6:
From pre-pandemic anticipation to the depths of isolation and back to tentative post-pandemic reconnection, this exhibition offers a kaleidoscopic exploration of adaptation amidst change. While not explicitly about the pandemic, Hochbaum's pieces encapsulate a spectrum of emotions—joy, isolation, self-reflection, and love— which were all heightened and challenged during the pandemic era. "Never Better," holds both affirmation and irony, echoing life's intricate nuances and the paradoxes of human existence.

For our first show in the space we were pleased to present works by three artists: Pauline Shin, Heather Loughran, and Erin Clancy. From delicate drawings, soft and intimate portraits, to expertly crafted ceramics with bold glaze-work, we were inspired by the many ways one can depict domesticity through different viewpoints.
