Embedded Relationships
July-August 2024
Neon Heater Gallery
Findlay, OH
Mixed fiber, ceramic terra-cotta, wood, house paint
Embedded Relationships, a solo exhibition by Britny Wainwright, continues the artist’s interest in combining soft fiber with hard ceramics. The orange-drenched gallery complements the desaturated palette of creams, whites, and earthy terra-cotta browns. Textural floral motifs partner with traditional quilt block patterns to speak about the intimate domestic space. Flower buds, or perhaps flowers past their prime, are included in all works. Sometimes they are flat abstracted renderings, other times as bulb-shaped unglazed ceramic components stacked and bunched with muslin leaves stuffed with sand. This exhibition ponders the quiet and makes us stand still.
