April 14–May 7, 2023A solo exhibition of ceramics by Kala Stein mapping themes of climate and place through experimental design, fire, and flux studies. Exploring motifs of water, fragility, and changing landscapes through vessels and wall work, Stein uses the kiln to simulate geologic transformation — cracking, melting, flowing, and fluxing — as a metaphor for climate change. The work contemplates the sublime, being, and loss within the context of the Anthropocene in Northern California.
