While their visual styles and narratives differ significantly, this exhibition brings their work together to explore how both artists have broken from the conceptual traditions in ceramics introduced by Southern California ceramists in the early 1960s.Despite their differences, Pignolet and Kim share a common language: the use of botanicals and decorative motifs on the surfaces of their vessels. These aesthetic elements become tools for layered, symbolic storytelling centered around themes such as femininity, social justice, cultural stereotypes, mythology, deities, and folk-art traditions.Artwork:Elyse Pignolet, Gold Digger, 2019.

However, throughout the long history of art, painting a landscape for its own sake—rather than just as a background for another subject—is relatively recent. Among the landscape paintings in the Museum’s permanent collection, several responses to Taylor’s question emerge, indicating motivations that go far beyond just pleasant wall decoration.Artwork: Gail Factor, Salmon Stripe, ca. 1980s.
