SUMMARY:The Cycle of Nature and Time
DESCRIPTION:On View in Studio 9\nArtist Talk (Updated Date): Saturday\, January 21\, 2pm \nEach year\, the Torpedo Factory Art Center commissions Art Center artists to propose installations during the winter season to activate the space through the busy holiday season. This year\, artist Saya Behnam\, of Torpedo Factory Art Center studio 229\, presents “The Cycle of Nature and Time\,” on view in Studio 9 from November 19\, 2022 – February 12\, 2023. This installation features a cascade of dried flowers and plants to represent the cycles of nature. Benham’s work invites viewers to contemplate the winter season as a time for regeneration and decay important to the natural cycle of life. \nArtist Statement \nIn this installation\, flowers and plants are my paint\, and space is my canvas. By drying fresh flowers and plants\, I try to show the beauty of life in death\, the rhythm\, harmony\, and the cycle of nature and time in fresh\, dried and decayed. The lack of attention to our environment and surrounding made me focus the viewers’ attention back on this cycle while celebrating its beauty. \nThe metaphors used in this installation are: the golden sphere for earth and universe\, the clock fixtures taken apart (pendulums and clock hands) for time\, Zodiac signs for months\, ashes\, soil\, clays for representing decay\, and dried flowers and plants to represent life and death. \nI used hundreds of plants and flowers in this installation\, mainly from Alexandria and Northern VA. \nFlowers and plants used in this installation include: \n\nVirginia White Crownbeard (Verbesina Virginia)\nSouthern Red Oak (Quercus falcata)\nWillow Oak (Quercus phellos)\nGoldenRod (Solidago Rugusa)\nMums (Chrysanthemums)\nBaby Breath flowers (Gypsophila paniculata)\nAmaranth (Gomphrena nitida)\nStraw Flowers (Xerochrysum bracteatum)\nRoses (Rosa ‘Mister Lincoln’\, Rosa chinensis\, Rosa ‘Papa Meilland)\nLavender (Lavandula)\nHardy Pampas Grass or Ravenna Grass (Tripedum Ravennae and synonym Saccharum Racennae)  \nBunny tail (Lagurus ovatus)\nCarnations (Dianthus caryophyllus)\nMarigold (Tagetes)\nSmooth Sumac and Winged Sumac (Rhus)\nDahlia (Dahlia pinnata)\nDusty Miller\, Silver Ragworh (Jacobaea maritima)\n\n  \nAbout the Artist\n \nSaya Behnam is an Iranian-American artist with more than 20 years of experience in painting\, sculpture\, and installation art. Her art practice is inspired by nature\, the juxtaposition of time and space\, birth and death\, and sacred or fractal geometry patterns observed in natural forms for the structures of growth\, energy\, decay\, chaos\, and order. By creating her handmade colors and inks from minerals\, fresh or dried flowers\, spices\, plants\, earth stones\, and other pigments —the medium intelligence\, an essential aspect of her creative process—they aren’t just mediums; those are parts of places and time. \n

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Cindi Lewis on her solo exhibit "Homestead Elegy"
DESCRIPTION:Join painter Cindi Lewis as she discusses her inspiration and process for her series “Homestead Elegy.” \nThe paintings in Cindi Lewis’s “Homestead Elegy” series explore a late 19th-century homestead. The decrepit interior of the house (no longer occupied) and its extensive\, unorganized accumulation of possessions acquired over three generations provide a fascinating glimpse into homestead life. The sharp contrast between the cluttered interior and the openness of the surrounding North Dakota landscape is also reflected in the exhibit’s paintings.

SUMMARY:2022 Post-Grad Residents
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: December 17 – January 21\, 2022\nArtist Talk: Friday\, January 13\, 2023 \nThe Torpedo Factory Art Center presents the culminating exhibition for the 2022 Post-Graduate Residency co-hort: Mrinal Joshi\, Julia O’Bryan\, Kamille Jackson\, and Kiel Posner on view in Target Gallery.  \nThis residency provides a unique experience at a critical juncture in an emerging artist’s career after they graduate their BFA or MFA program\, allowing them unlimited studio access and the ability to engage with the community outside of academic context. The work on view in this exhibition will spotlight  the work and creative endeavors these four residents created during their three-month residency in studio #319. \nJoin us for a reception and artist talk on Friday\, January 13!  \n2022 Post Grad Residency Exhibition Catalog \n  \n\nAbout the Artists \nMrinal Joshi • January – March\nSpring Hill College\, 2018\nB.F.A.s in Studio Art and Graphic Design\nWebsite: 111rinal.com\n@111rinal\nMrinal Joshi is an artist and graphic designer based in Washington\, DC. Born in Kathmandu\, Nepal\, he emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 14. Mrinal’s artistic practice lies at the intersections of his lifelong fascination with culture and the collective consciousness. \nThe lighthearted synthesis and juxtaposition of classical western art and contemporary visual culture seen in his work become a vehicle to explore the temporal nature of existence with the digital era as the backdrop. His approach to and philosophy on artmaking is a meditation on mortality and change. \nMrinal holds two degrees in Studio Art and Graphic Design from Spring Hill College (2018). He has participated in several juried exhibitions throughout the country. Mrinal is currently a graphic designer with the in-house creative team at the Nature Conservancy. In his free time\, he can be found reading\, cooking\, going to museums\, hanging out or simply vibing. \n  \nJulia O’Bryan • April – June\nSouthwestern University\, 2019\nB.F.A.\, Ceramics\n@juliacreates\nJulia O’Bryan is a graduate of Southwestern University in Georgetown\, TX. Her work stems from her childhood growing up in southwest Missouri as well as from her struggle with an aggressive auto-immune disease. Her work is an accumulation of her experiences; from her childhood\, from her struggle with an aggressive autoimmune disease\, all of the things that have made her who she is. Based on the destroying and scarring found throughout her lungs and body from her struggle with her autoimmune disease\, the coral is a reflection of the beauty that can be seen through decay. The wide range of color throughout the coral on her work is meant to reflect the passage of time through the “bleaching” effect it creates. Gold accents throughout the work is meant to draw attention to the beauty in the human body over time and the beauty through brokenness that can occur throughout life. \n\n\n\nKamille Jackson • July – September\nGeorge Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design\, 2021\nM.F.A.\, Studio Art\nWebsite: kamillesimone.com\n@ka_milleeee\nKamille Jackson is an interdisciplinary artist from northern Virginia. In her work\, cosmic colors meet checkerboards from a long-gone suburban counterculture and symbols plucked from astrology and spirituality-based imagery. Floating and loosely abstract pictures form from the amalgamation of texts conjured by black conceptual artists\, desert transcendentalists\, and queer media. Through her work\, Kamille builds a queer\, black\, mystical iconography with drawing\, painting\, writing\, and embroidery. She earned an MFA from George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design and a BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. She recently shared a visiting artist lecture with the graduate students at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and received the Outstanding MFA Award as a participant in the Next Exhibition. She has exhibited work at The Garden\, Target Gallery\, Anderson Gallery\, Studio 23\, Bronx Art Space\, Gallery 5\, Richmond Library\, and the Refinery Space. Commissions include Justin Allen’s Black Boots’ Ekphrastic Punk EP\, Afropunk\, Elbowroom\, and Gallery 5. \n\n\n\nKiel Posner • October – December\nVirginia Commonwealth University\, 2020\nB.F.A.\, Craft and Materials Studies\n@kiel.posner\n\nArtist Bio \nKiel Posner is a queer Jewish ceramicist currently living in Bethesda\, Maryland. Their work investigates the legacy of the button factory their great grandfather worked his way up to owning after immigrating to NYC\, from Eastern Europe\, in 1912. 109 years later\, after producing for Macy’s and Disney\, what’s left of the now defunct factory are some ceramic decals and a dusty kiln. Kiel received their BFA in Craft and Materials Studies in 2020 from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond\, VA. While in Richmond they were awarded a Fellowship from the Virginia Museum of Fine arts and rented space at Shockoe Bottom Clay. Since relocating to the DMV\, they have started teaching ceramics classes at Vis Arts Rockville and The District Clay Center. \n  \n\n\n2022 Residency Jurors \nJordan Brown (she/her) is the current Director of Education and Programs at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond (VisArts). She spent her childhood in Minnesota\, but now considers Richmond her home. She has a B.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University in painting and printmaking and a Masters in Arts Administration from Goucher College. She is currently a board member of Partners in the Arts. She has a special fondness for all things printmaking\, and still has her own art practice outside of her role in VisArts’ education department.  \nOshun Layne (she/her) was born and reared in Brooklyn\, NYC with a passion for visual arts and its ability to communicate a sense of inclusiveness across cultures\, genders\, and generations. Over the last decade\, she has developed and nurtured an extensive career in arts leadership that includes institutional\, gallery\, and non-profit project management experiences. Through arts education\, programming\, artist development\, strategic partnerships\, and mentorship\, she has been successful in bringing multicultural and multidisciplinary art forms to diverse populations. Most recently\, she has carved out her curatorial imprint in museums and galleries regionally\, working with scores of local and international artists.  \nGraduating from Howard University with a Bachelor’s degree in anthropology\, Oshun’s educational and professional journey lead to her becoming the Director of Galleries for Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. In this role\, she increased regional audience participation and engagement by supervision of exhibitions and programming in multiple venues such as Rush Arts Gallery in NYC\, Corridor Gallery in Brooklyn and Rush Arts Philly in Philadelphia\, PA. Prior to Rush\, she coordinated arts education programs where she oversaw the administration of educational volunteers\, docents and interns for the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.  \nOshun is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Urban Policy and Planning with an emphasis on Non-Profit Management at Hunter College. Merging cultural studies\, art\, and policy\, she seeks to create innovative pathways to bridge gaps between urban communities and private interests with a focus on arts awareness\, cultural competency\, and community partnerships.

SUMMARY:Miniature Marvels
DESCRIPTION:Scale is one of the elements of design that an artist considers when creating form. It is an element that can surprise a viewer with its attention to detail that then requires a closer inspection. A mug might be thimble-sized\, a diminutive vase might hold a single flower\, a small sculpture of a fox will astound. Crystals formed during the glazing process will amaze. Featuring the Kiln Club.
