The Home Show: Togetherness

The Home Show: Togetherness
May 3 - June 22, 2018

Creative Growth’s annual Home show features a large selection of artwork and homewares, including pillows, woven blankets, ceramic planters, wood sculptures, dishes, and table linens, with work by over 50 artists.

This year we are have focused on Togetherness and the complexities of gatherings and personal connection. Do we gather to celebrate and share in one another’s lives or do we come together out of obligation? Do we blend together or remain distinct? What happens when a longed for connection is not reciprocated? Gatherings can feel harmonious, like the throng of whales in Larry Randolph’s ceramic pod, or ambivalent, like the two figures sharing a tension-filled space in Ying Ge Zhou’s watercolor work. Interpersonal relationships can be both painful and full of love; Rosena Finister explores this strife of through her painting of anthropomorphized talking birds and Zina Hall immortalizes familial dynamics in her hand-embroidered series of 70’s TV shows.
