SUMMARY:Material Memory Exhibition Public Preview Party
DESCRIPTION:Material Memory explores how knowledge\, history\, and cultural memory are carried through objects and the act of making. Bringing together four artists working in ceramics\, fiber\, tapestry\, and print\, the exhibition centers analog processes\, material investigation\, and the slow accumulation of gesture and meaning.\n\nThrough hand-built ceramics\, bead-encrusted vessels\, pony-bead tapestries\, and meticulously carved relief prints\, the artists in Material Memory examine how culture and personal histories are inherited\, learned\, and reinterpreted through labor\, repetition\, and intimate engagement with material. These works ask viewers to consider how objects embody memory\, mediate identity\, and carry stories across generations.\n\nFeaturing:\n\nChris Salas (Ceramics)\n\nSalas's hand-built ceramic forms emerge through intuitive\, iterative processes informed by personal relationships\, historical research\, and the ongoing legacy of colonization in the Americas. Clay becomes a vessel for cultural reckoning\, holding layered histories through time-intensive making and surface.\n\nKatie Mongoven (Fiber\, Beading)\n\nMongoven transforms found blue-and-white ceramic vessels with intricate beadwork and embroidery. Her labor-intensive practice explores diasporic memory\, identity reconstruction\, and the reclamation of Orientalist objects through touch\, repetition\, and bodily presence.\n\nakeylah wellington (Sculpture\, Tapestry)\n\nWellington's pony-bead tapestries and mixed-media sculptures blend humor\, endurance\, and personal history. Drawing on childhood imagery\, early digital culture\, and found materials\, her work preserves stories of displacement\, resilience\, and generational inheritance.\n\nRamiro Rodriguez (Printmaking)\n\nRodriguez's woodblock and linoleum relief prints document familial and cultural narratives rooted in Mexican-American print traditions. Through carving and layered printing\, his work embeds memory\, transformation\, and inherited knowledge into the physical act of making.\n\nTogether\, the artists in Material Memory use material as language foregrounding slow\, analog processes as acts of remembering\, learning\, and transmission. Their works are deeply personal yet culturally resonant\, tracing the invisible threads of inheritance that bind past\, present\, and future.
