Featuring works by Jennifer Claussen, Jodi Walsh, and Brenda J. Bunten-Schloesser
This exhibition brings together three female artists whose practices are rooted in slowness, care, and close attention to materials. Working with clay, fiber, and salvaged natural elements, each artist engages in a process that values touch, patience, and the quiet transformation of the everyday.
The works in Quietly Made do not rush to be understood. They invite close looking and unhurried presence. Forms are folded, stitched, gathered, and shaped by hand. Natural and repurposed materials carry traces of time, use, and place, offering warmth through their restraint and familiarity.
Quietly Made is not only about decoration, but about feeling held. In this exhibition curated by Annette Palmer, comfort emerges through process rather than spectacle. The artists share a respect for intentional making, for working slowly, and for allowing materials to speak softly. Each piece becomes a place to pause, to rest the eye, and to reconnect with the physical world.
Together, these works create an atmosphere of calm and quiet connection, an invitation to slow down, to notice, and to be present with objects shaped by care.
“In a fast-moving world, these works offer a place to pause and reconnect, with materials, with process, and with ourselves.” Annette Palmer, Curator
