Event Information

Ceramicist Cora Olson Masterfully juxtaposes materials and aesthetics in her sculptures, delving into the rich tapestry of tradition and cultural responsiveness. By pushing the boundaries of clay, she crafts unique forms with intricate surface designs, all while exploring contemporary cultural issues. Olson also honors the ancient tradition of ceramics. Notably, she highlights historical gender inequality in household economics-women historically shaped clay for cooking and functional purposes. Through rough textures and elegant final pieces, Olson harmonizes masculine and feminine energies, creating a powerful artistic outlet. Her works continuing this exploration have been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington at Marymount University.

This exhibitions runs from October 19th, 2024 through November 30th, 2024
