Exhibition Statement:
Tectonic plates shift beneath the ocean, signals shoot across seas, ideas leap from head to head, era to era. Everything that blooms eventually deflates; heat cools down, stars faint, waves roll back to the sea.

Art’s the same. Sometimes it cracks, sometimes it’s quiet. Ideas appear, then disappear. Concepts grow, then peel away. Meaning changes shape but still leaves a trace behind.

Materials and Processes for an Expanding World reflects the ways artists create their own universes through movement, experiment, and intentional accidents. What’s inside the exhibition? Performances, unfinished works, temporary objects, sketches, doodles, notes, observations, and everyday things that might seem unimportant yet hold small universes within them.
