About this Exhibition: Ceramics is often a solitary pursuit—artists spend countless hours alone in their studios, cultivating a deep, personal relationship with clay. The nature of the medium demands patience, intuition, and an intimate understanding of material, process, and form. Rarely, however, do ceramic artists have the opportunity to engage directly with one another in creative partnership—until now.

Rhythms of Resonance brings together teams of accomplished ceramic artists in a unique collaborative project that invites them to step outside their individual practices and into a shared studio conversation. This exhibition highlights the process of these artistic partnerships, emphasizing the transformative potential of collaboration within a medium often worked with in isolation.

Through this process, artists are encouraged to explore clay through a new lens—guided by the insights, approaches, and aesthetics of their collaborator. As they share ideas, techniques, and inspirations, each artist’s relationship with the material is deepened and expanded. From initial conversations to final works, the exhibition documents and celebrates the journey of co-creation—where boundaries dissolve, voices blend, and the medium itself becomes a meeting ground for innovation and exchange.

Rhythms of Resonance offers viewers a rare glimpse into the dynamics of collaborative ceramic practice—where dialogue, experimentation, and mutual respect shape both process and outcome.

Co-Curators: Jake Boggs and Mina Elison

Exhibiting Artists: Amber Aguirre with Kate and Will Jacobson, Jill Backus and Dave Wheeler, Stephen Freedman and Kainoa Makua, Tomoko Nakazato and Setsuko Watanabe Morinoue, Shelby Smith and Kimberly Hagen
