Assemble (Cut, Burn, Stitch) with Care offers a rich visual dialogue that bridges fine art, craft, and design inviting reflection on the beauty of found materials, the possibility of transformation, and embracing unpredictability.
Each artist in the exhibition engages with acts of destruction and transformation as metaphors for resilience, memory, and reconstruction. Petrovich-Cheney’s sculptural assemblages repurpose salvaged wood into vibrant geometric compositions. Fitch’s work evokes tactile narratives through surfaces of pit fired porcelain and hand hewn found wood. Millstein’s stitched metal wall pieces weave together personal and collective histories with quiet intensity. The materials carry histories, scars, and stories that unfold across the surfaces of their work.
