This event has ended.
Luisa Caldwell’s exhibition encompasses personal interests that have spanned her childhood and adult life: cats, flowers, and art books. Her project is inspired by the flowers she grows in her Brooklyn garden, as well as the stray cats that come and go. On the gallery walls are hundreds of Caldwell’s pen and marker botanicals, illustrating fantastic flora. Caldwell has also created an installation of found porcelain and stoneware vases that have her own feline and botanical imagery etched in the surface. Rather than exhibiting these vessels on traditional bases, she displays them on stacks of art books that refer to the influences that spill into the content of her work.
