Slip the Body, Center the Mind | Megan Adams Irving, Andrew N. Fitzsimmons, Veronica Juyoun Byun

Clay can absorb and hold the warmth of a hand, it remembers how it’s been shaped, and it retains a tactile quality when fired. What better vessel to hold the ephemeral creations of the human mind: memories, stories, feelings. In Slip the Body, Center the Mind, works by Megan Adams Irving, Andrew N. Fitzsimmons, and Veronica Juyoun Byun reflect this in distinct ways. Megan Adams Irving (Westford, NY) creates ceramic sculptures that weave the connections between environments, both natural and man-made, into subtle structures that tease the edges of how we inhabit the world. Andrew N. Fitzsimmons (Owego, NY) pulls from ancient and contemporary stories to sculpt busts of allegorical fictional characters and symbolic vessels. Veronica Juyoun Byun (Utica, NY) creates atmospheric installations that often repeat an object or design to interpret the effects of experiences, demonstrating the subtle variations and shifts that occur when a moment becomes a memory. Together, these three artists tell stories of humanity; how the things we create, be they physical, emotional, or mental, are all distinctly human and pulled from our imaginations and communal state. Ceramic sculptures are organic and essential, they are the physical representation of our attempts to manipulate and control the world and the inevitability of the material asserting its own continued influence.
