June 3 - August 20, 2023
From Galveston Arts Center:
“June Woest’s exhibition, Those Prepared for the Weather are Those that Get to Go, features hand-held weather contraptions that empower their beholders to become master manipulators of the weather. Constructed of mass-produced found objects attached to ceramic forms, the works are conceptually designed to fix the weather when facing forecasts of high winds, floods, heat, cold, and haze. Her self-study on weather manipulation and familiarity with blustery weather events during her youth in Kansas informs her interest in human climate resilience. Tiring of doomsday predictions, Woest’s work offers an optimistic view on the changing climate and instigates continued conversation about the future of the weather and the possibility and hope that humans can change it.”
Reception: June 3, 2023 | 6–9 pm
