Meet Caroline, a sculptor who works in wood, metal, cement, and now clay, at Labor of Love studio.

She came to ceramics looking for a more accessible way to work, but the medium has been teaching her something else, too: patience, flexibility, and how to let go when things don’t go to plan.

“If it breaks, it breaks, and I move on to the next thing.”

Eight months in, she’s making some of the biggest pieces in our studio and finding new ways to connect ceramics with her larger sculptural practice. We’re excited to see where she takes it next.

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the opening of the ‘Soft Decline’ group show on 2/27!

‘Soft Decline’ catalogues each artists’ sensory adaptations to living through times of turmoil. Working through varied mediums and circumstances this show implores us to reflect on the ways in which we consider viable notions like uncertainty, depravity, or yearning. Curated by @madeline.dtmg

‘Soft Decline’ is on view through March 28, with open gallery hours every Saturday 3-7pm, or by appointment.

The gallery is open today, and this evening we are hosting The Liberation Series—a night of intentional live music raising funds for community efforts, curated by @iriverageographies

Soft decline: a group show opens on Friday, February 27 at @squirmgallery

What do we leave behind; what are we moving towards; and how do we find softness in the everyday experiences of defeat?

Soft decline is the net that catches us at the bottom of a fall from grace. It’s a memory of bygone comforts carrying a tide of loss, nurturing, and reflection. It’s the consolation of seeing a light on at the end of a long journey home.

A bit overdue, but I have finally put together some of the photos taken from this summer. The MOA Design and Build Internship was truly unforgettable- I got to meet and work with such talented, passionate, and inspiring people. Here is one of our projects that we collectively ideated and created for the Museum of Outdoor Arts. This piece is still up for view so please check it out if you're near Denver! More projects coming soon

This summer, I had the opportunity to intern at the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood, CO, and it was honestly one of the best experiences ever. I worked with six of the coolest, most talented people to create five collaborative public pieces for the museum. Two of the pieces were based on my designs (!!), and I also got to make my own bronze-cast totem and title design for our show, Tessellation in Bloom.

I’m still so mindblown at everything I got to be part of, and none of it would’ve been possible without @o.j.johnson_ @caroline.boyd @bugzy_richards @eloise.alix @miaz.martin @cottonwoods.studio @ericarawson_art @walter.ware.18 @supergoopstudios - I love and miss you guys dearly 🫶 Our group was called “lightning in a bottle” and that’s really stuck with me- I’ll forever be proud of the work we accomplished, and that I came out of this summer both a better artist and person.

Massive thanks to @outdoorarts @moa.designandbuild for bringing us all together and making this summer what it was. So, so grateful.

I might be the luckiest mama around to spend beach dayz with my babies laughing, reading, talking, swimming, loving, and dreaming. These two make my heart burst open with love and joy. 💗💓💗

We also got to sneak some family time in, too! We love you Grandma and Grandpa! 💛💛💛
