Composite graphic of three images, left to right: a tattered plastic disposable lid and straw lay abaondoned in dried leaves; a lone figure stands in an empty white-walled gallery, next to a monitor on a white podium; a dark-haired woman sits at a table filled with photo negatives, holding a sheet of proofs to her mouth and eating them

Opening Party: Message from Our Planet

February 9 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

L to R: Images of three artworks in the exhibition, the first is a ceramic nude, headless, seated human figure with pink flowers emerging from the body's form; the second is a cell phone against a black background that reads "Western World" and "End Call"; the third is a video still of Lady Gaga against a pastoral background; she's facing the camera with a sober expression and wearing a fine victorian-era dress

Message from Our Planet

A series of ceramic works are arranged on the wall: circular ceramics with seedheads and flora inscribed; horizontal ceramic pieces arranged in a line, like a timeline, below which are vertical strips of ceramic, all of which are inscribed with narrative and family history
