I Stood My Ground

Through May 1, 2024


I Stood My Ground features nine artists who offer a glimpse into stories that connect emotions and memories through different materials (magnet flakes, concrete, clay, etc.) and personal storytelling. These artists reimagine the use of conventional materials to expose an unconventional narrative and methodology, while inviting the viewer to learn about enigmas and perceptions that challenge the status quo.
