Jane Fulton Alt: After The Storm
-
Jane Fulton Alt, a Chicago-based artist and clinical social worker, witnessed the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in August 2005, and used her photography as both a coping mechanism and a way of helping the cause. This unprecedented natural disaster is captured in the approximately 35 color photographs presented in the exhibition, following the recent publication of her book on the same subject - 'Look and Leave: Photographs and Stories of New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward.'

Elemental Beauty: Japanese Shigaraki Ceramics
-
Shigaraki wares, featuring rough textured clay and natural ash glazes, are one of the characteristic types of Japanese ceramics first produced in earnest in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). Named after a valley southeast of Kyoto, where many of the old kilns that produced the wares were situated, they were originally primarily utilitarian objects that were used in kitchens or storerooms to hold seeds or other ingredients. The white clay bodies of such wares turn colors when scorched in a kiln, and the use of wood ash can form a greenish glaze over them.
