Life's Odd Ephemera
The catalog for our Summer 2023 exhibition, Life’s Odd Ephemera
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Over the past three years we have lived very closely with our objects. The pandemic was a period of great loss and deepening awareness of what matters most but it has also been a time to review why objects matter at all. Some have opened boxes covered in dust to review memory materials while others have taken up scrapbooking and crafts. Others purchase while the family member in the next room purges. Everyone has been forced to review their surroundings while considering their own mortality.
Featuring the work of Roz Chast, Claire Messud, and Diana Weymar, Life’s Odd Ephemera explores the multifaceted relationships we’ve forged with our belongings, how they hold value in our daily lives, and what might happen to them once we are no longer here.
