Shifting Grounds

The Class of 2026 has adapted: materials are active partners, holding memory, inviting touch and carrying potential. Over seeking resolved resolutions, they embrace states of transition, moving between the present and what lingers.

Central to their process has been a quiet act of pre‑positioning. They arrange their studio spaces, materials and uncertainties before the first mark is made.

Cycles of searching and researching have repositioned their visual and conceptual identity. Abstraction, reminiscence and expression layer, deepening through repetition and return.

Meaning emerges through proximity, attention and the slow act of folding and unfolding experience into form. Each piece holds the residue of questions asked and reasked.

Witness what these young artists have made, and their restless care and courageous play.
