If you know what we know, you better arrive early for Hadiya’s first solo art show titled, Between Starshine & Clay. In this show Hadiya’s work continues to evolve via a collection of ceramic lighting and generative works that look at memory and material through experimentation. Drawing on the aesthetics of mid-century and Black modernist traditions, this body of work reflects Hadiya’s continued interest in form and function, nostalgia, and the healing power of craft. The title, pulled from Lucille Clifton’s poem “won’t you celebrate with me,” speaks to a metaphorical space between the cosmic and the terrestrial—a liminal place where Hadiya exists and creates. It’s in this in-between that her work takes shape. These lamps offer illumination and invite clarity, spirituality, and grounding. Join us for the opening reception at Art of Noize on Saturday May 10th, from 3 - 6 PM. #hadiyawilliams #blackpepperpaperie #artofnoize #ceramicartist #claylamps #artshow #dcartist #ceramiclamps #intuitiveartist #blkcreatives #lightingdesign #lampdesigner #washingtondcevents #generativeartist #ceramiclighting #contemporanyartist

Please enjoy this video from a recent visit by GW students! Students were able to visit multiple artists' studios to learn more about their artistic processes, inspirations and content within their work.

New mosaic sculptures from Andy Yoder: "I see these as relics, objects dug out of landfills in the distant future that we’ll be remembered by. I love all the history associated with mosaic; it reminds me of stained glass, or jade burial masks made by the Aztecs."

Recent work by artist, Molly Springfield: Molly Springfield makes graphite drawings that use photocopies of printed texts as their source material. She asks how key moments within the history of information and reproduction fundamentally transform how we experience language: in art (19th-century trompe l’oeil, 1960s Conceptual art’s use of the Xerox), in literature (practices of translation and transcription), and in technology (the digitization of texts, the rise of e-readership).

Please enjoy a peek at STABLE artist, Nicole Maloof's studio and current WIP. Maloof, diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 4 years old, creates sculptures and paintings inspired by her experiences living with an autoimmune disease. She uses conventional art materials including plaster, resin and acrylic paint, in combination with used medical supplies, hard candy and Jell-O in order to explore the way material manipulation can alter the read of an object. Her alteration and transformation of materials mimics the transformation that occurs within her own body when synthetic insulin is administered and sugar is absorbed from the bloodstream into the cells. Throughout the artworks, there is an overwhelming sense of collection, material and excess. Hundreds of repeating shapes pile upon each other highlighting the sheer amount of these items she has used in her life. This begins to touch on medical waste, the burden that those with autoimmune diseases exist with every day, and the fragility of our bodies without modern science. The sculptures are simultaneously playful and twisted, seductive and repulsive based on their outer appearance and deeper meaning.
