Joanna Powell will give an artist talk. Powell will discuss her past work and her New York debut exhibition, Lay Me in a Hot Bed and Try Not to Drown. In this exhibition, Powell explores emotions that are universally felt in highly individualized ways. Everyone eventually grapples with the death of a loved one, but each person’s experience is unique. Using ceramic, photography and neon, Powell unpacks what it means to have common experiences without actually being able to share them.

Joanna Powell is an artist based out of Helena, Montana. She received her MFA in ceramics from the University of Colorado, Boulder and her BFA in ceramics from the University of North Texas. She was an artist in residence at the Archie Bray Foundation and has had solo and group exhibitions at University of Wisconsin-River Falls (River Falls, WI; 2019), Denison Artspace (Newark, OH; 2016), Hoffman Gallery (Portland, OR; 2018), and The Clay Studio (Philadelphia, PA; 2013), among others.

This event is free and open to the public.
