This week at the Everson! |

MONDAY!
Happy #MugshotMonday everybody! Today we salute Alfred Station, NY potter Matthew Metz. This salt-fired cup from the Rosenfield Collection normally graces our administrative offices, and is normally in heavy demand… but it disappeared last fall. It turns out that somebody accidentally left it at the front desk. Now the prodigal bird has returned… making the office much more cozy. Metz uses a historical technique called “sprigging” to apply the white areas of low relief to his pots. To explore other sprigged pots, come visit us at the Everson Museum!

WEDNESDAY!
Made to resemble a rumpled cardboard box and crumpled newspaper, Package-73 epitomizes the disastrous effects of media and the disregard for material waste. To create the illusion of printed media, Mishima silkscreened newspaper stories, logos, and illustrations with slips and glazes onto clay slabs. She then whorled, folded, and molded the slabs into three-dimensional objects meant to appear as real paper products. The durability and stability of the clay transforms the ephemeral paper product into something permanent, reminding viewers of the waste-filled landfills around the world. Package-73 is currently on display in The Floating Bridge: Postmodern and Contemporary Japanese Ceramics. Click HERE to read more about Mishima Kimiyo.

THURSDAY!
February 28, 2021
Using portraiture as her point of departure, Lacey McKinney examines themes of identity and embodiment through the human face and figure. Painting with acrylic and oil, she merges multiple faces into one composition—blurring together moments in time. Calling attention to our shifting identities and challenging the history of genre portraiture, McKinney questions how much information can be gleaned from a single portrait.
