Join artists Fernando Martinez, Rachel Dove, and Dan Munkus as they discuss their current exhibitions at BAU Gallery. Martinez’ work explores how language can express the ineffable nature of words like eternity, love, and spirit, which we can name but never fully understand. In this exhibition, which features the tactile surfaces of Martinez' collage-approach to ceramics, the works hint at the tension between the object as it is and the meaning it emanates. Dove and Munkus’ two-person exhibition examines the utility, impact, and aesthetics of often-unseen external and inner systems. Dove, a ceramic artist, is drawn to the hidden structures that operate just beyond perception, like seawalls restraining tides and ventilation shafts breathing beneath our feet. Munkus, primarily a painter, uses abstraction to distill and analyze inner emotional and psychological systems, creating a material inquiry about the nature of self-reimagining.
