forms and shadows

Glenn Gustafson works in ceramics using alternative firing techniques such as Raku, Horsehair and Feather, Obvara, and Saggar. His sculptural pieces draw inspiration from myth and the collective unconscious, depicting archetypal figures like the Queen of the Night, Changing Woman, and the Elementals. In his other works, Glenn reimagines traditional vessel forms—vases, urns, and other classic shapes—infusing them with a contemporary sculptural sensibility.

the gathered

The Gathered is a 625 sq ft tile mosaic by North Carolina-based artist Andrew Hendrixson. The mosaic, composed of an undulating rhythm of nearly 400,000 12 mm bespoke glass tiles, reminds viewers of the individual small pieces that comprise the whole, a metaphor for community. It is installed on the east-facing wall of the Parkside on Pearl building, facing Italian Village Park.
