SUMMARY:Opening Reception & Artist Talk: Kendall Buster
DESCRIPTION:About the exhibition:\nThe growth of a seed suggests a benign intervention\, a germination in which it blossoms from its origin and into a seedling – the beginning of what can be imagined. Trained as a microbiologist\, Buster’s work suggests ideas of budding\, merging\, and hybridization\, using abstract forms and high-tech materials to create objects that expand what we know of natural and made environments. Her practice examines the microscopic and the monumental\, from works that allude to intimate\, botanical illustrations to architectural drawings to life-size biomorphic vessels. With the gallery assuming the role of a laboratory\, Buster’s work interrogates the edges of free expression and posits new ways of thinking about what can and cannot be expressed. \nAbout the artist:\nKendall Buster earned a BFA degree from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington\, DC\, and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University. Additionally\, she participated in the Independent Study Studio Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York\, NY. \nHer work has been exhibited in numerous venues nationally and internationally including the Hirshhorn Museum\, the American University Katzen Museum\, and the Kreeger Museum in Washington\, DC; Artist’s Space and the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York\, NY; the SCAD Museum of Art in Savannah\, GA; the Kemper Museum in Kansas City\, MI; the Bahnhof Westend in Berlin\, Germany; Commune 1 and KZNSA Gallery in South Africa; and more. \nBuster’s work has been reviewed in ArtForum\, Sculpture Magazine\, The Washington Post\, and more. She has been featured on NPR’s Morning Edition and was a recipient of the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in the Arts. She currently lives and works in Richmond\, VA and is a Professor and the Graduate Director in the Department of Sculpture and Extended Media at Virginia Commonwealth University.

SUMMARY:Tephra ICA Opening Reception | Metopic Ridge Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Tephra Institute of Contemporary Art (Tephra ICA) presents Metopic Ridge\, a solo exhibition by artist Eleanor Mahin Thorp. Thorp’s paintings take us on an immersive site visit to examine the Blue Ridge Mountains exploring stability and change\, the seen and the hidden within rocks. Through her discerning gaze rocks are more than geological entities; Instead\, they metamorphose into vessels of history and human connection. Drawing inspiration from the fascinating transformations depicted in Persian miniatures\, Thorp traces the hidden figures and forms in the rocks. Her paintings reveal the duality of rocks’ existence as both a firm witness to time and a medium for that which is intangible. \nEleanor Mahin Thorp is an artist and educator living and working in Richmond\, VA. Thorp approaches the subjects of her site visits through the lens of Persian animism\, and constructs images of stone faces by searching for figures\, words\, animals\, and forms embedded in the rock. Thorp received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University\, was a Hopper prize finalist\, and is a 2023–2024 Visual Arts Fellow with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. \nThis exhibition is curated by Tephra ICA’s 2023 ArtTable Curatorial Fellow Sandy Cheng and presented in partnership with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Visual Arts Fellowship program.
