Artist Statement:
“My newly-minted teenager recently had two baby teeth pulled to make room for a palate expander, prompting me to consider the intrusive nature of altering a body I helped create. These procedures will shape how her body functions for the rest of her life, albeit hopefully for the better. As a mother, I love watching my daughter grow and change, and I’m struck by how much of that change is both natural and beyond my control. This experience led me to consider the human relationship with nature. We remove, reshape, preserve, and rebuild, often with the intention of making positive changes. Sometimes those alterations help, and sometimes they have consequences that last for generations. With this set of sculpted teeth, mirroring the shape of a bear trap, I draw parallels between these choices and the landscape of my daughter’s mouth. The stark white monoliths, rooted in dirt and erupting from the wild greenery, reflect the complicated beauty of watching something you love change.”

Evening Star Studio presents, Eat It! an exhibition of ceramics that explores food, eating and community through ceramics. Celebrations center food and friendships and family. Food brings joy and comfort. It sustains, repairs and reminds. Food is centered daily in our lives and holds a special place in our communities. It is cultural and familiar and it is love and loss. It can also complicate lives and become scarce or painful for many. It must be considered a human right and hunger must be disallowed. As grocery prices climb and environmental crises affect food security we can look to food to explore its politics.

The ceramic artworks in this exhibition look to explore our relationship to food individually and in community. The pieces in Eat It! remind us of the joy and fun in food as well as the complex social and political role food occupies in our lives.

Gallery hours daily 8am-1pm. Contact Beth DiCara ahead of your visit at 201-388-7323 to confirm.

Port Loring, Ontario appreciation post. The trip to the cottage was woefully short this summer, but nonetheless special and lovely. This is little glimpse of some of the iconic things at Tryon Island. 🍁 🌲 🛶 🇨🇦 I will miss this all year. by @kate.eggleston

These images are from the pinhole cameras (film canisters) I made during @heather.palecek.art's workshop last year. These little cameras were up at the family cottage for a full year!
Locations:
1. in an upstairs window
2. attached to a tree overlooking the lake near the dock
3. attached to another tree overlooking the lake near the front porch

I messed with the color on them in Photoshop since it's not going to be perfectly matched to real life. I can't wait to try making a larger camera and leaving it up all year again! taken in Port Loring, Ontario by @kate.eggleston

Looking for something fun to do with the whole family tomorrow? Join me at History Day! I’ll be demonstrating how to write with homemade quill pens and you can try it too! I used goose 🪶- soaked them in water overnight and heated cured them in sand, then carved each by hand. There’s tons of Revolutionary War and Civil War history to be seen and experienced throughout the day. Check out the link for more information. https://middlesexcountyculture.com/event/history-day/ @middlesexcountyculture @middlesexcntynj taken in East Jersey Olde Towne Village by @kate.eggleston
