Earthly Dreams
Upper Gallery
January 28 - March 19, 2022
"Almost all my sculptures are made in an instinctive way. When I am making them, I do not think of specific things. I am guided by my instincts and my dreams."
Ursula von Rydingsvard
Our exhibition explores unexpected visual parallels by artists who, though working decades apart and in disparate mediums, share common artistic threads: the use of earthly materials like clay and wood, the forms and flows of nature, and the tactility of the handmade object.
The artists in Earthly Dreams are also all women who paid their dues for many years before gaining broader recognition. We are excited to pair together artists like Betty Woodman and Pam Glick, Ruth Duckworth and Beverly Pepper, and Moira Dryer and Ursula von Rydingsvard, who have not been previously exhibited together, but whose works resonate in their shared conceptual, material, and formal qualities.

“It comes to this, that one must be true to oneself uncompromisingly. That sounds most arrogant, but it is nothing but the deepest humility.”
Ruth Duckworth
