Location: Glass Brick Openings of Top Gallery Hallway

In a series of ceramic sacred offering urns placed inside glass brick openings along a museum hallway, ceramic artist Betsy Rosenmiller and writer Matt Baker have collaborated to produce a confluence of the physical and the metaphysical. Their joint installation examines the intangible junction at which their two artistic and personal lives flow together. Not only united by marriage, the two also share a unique mental and creative bond. The area chosen for their installation shares this confluence in terms of physical as well as symbolic space. It is a point where exterior light enters the museum through glass bricked crevices and washes an interior hallway, an intimate space where interior and exterior combine.
