“Clay Pit” is an installation of sculpture, assemblage and painting by Francis Carmody, Caspar Connolly, Bill Hawkins, Yvette James, and Katie Ryan. These artists cultivate material forms through an analysis of how the structure of the natural world influences human behavior, spawning the creation of complex processes of adaptation, invention, and extraction. Through an exploration of the symbiotic structure of relationships between people and place, the past and the present, these artists work to reveal the tensions at play between realms of human and non-human experience, knowledge, and feeling.
