Steven Young Lee blends East and West in his playful porcelain vessels. His quietly poetic "collapses," at once elegant and elegiac, artfully challenge and expand our understanding of beauty, perfection, and utility. Kristen Morgin follows the unconventional in her trompe l'oeil assemblages, using unfired clay to explore personal nostalgia and the American Dream. Jennifer Trask weaves bone, snake vertebrae, resin, metal, and precious stones in haunting jewelry and wall sculptures that touch on questions of mortality and the ephemeral.

Using historical maps and numerical data, Norwood Viviano fashions exquisite glass works to investigate the relationship between industry and population shifts in American cities. His sculptures play on the wondrous transparency of his chosen material as they "map" our own fragility amid change.
