“I’ve been making artwork about my family for more than a decade, and over the years, my immediate family have become far more than just subject matter –they’ve become active participants in the creative problem-solving, conceptual development, and the evolution of material and craft of my practice. This exhibition, “Anthology,” marks the first time my work is accompanied by the creative output from members of my family.

In this exhibition, my mother’s botanical illustrations made during her 30 years as a horticulturist, my father’s handmade Windsor chairs, my late grandmother’s self-taught oil paintings, and my great-grandmother’s hand-stitched quilt will be exhibited along with recent pieces of mine based on my mother’s drawings. “Anthology” illustrates the multi-generational aesthetic link amongst a family of makers.”

ORBIT is a series of programming that includes exhibitions, talks, music, field trips and a variety of experiential and educational gatherings for 2018. ORBIT has been carefully designed by Dorman + Torluemke to be inclusive and fun. It is headquartered at the exhibition space of the Chicago agency Media Made Great.

The exhibit will run through July 22.
Gallery Hours: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and by appointment.
