New Growth
Category: Temporary
Lesley Baker, an Indianapolis resident, is an Associate Professor of Ceramics at IUPUI’s Herron School of Art and Design. Baker takes her imagery from designs found in historical wallpaper, world currencies, and ceramics of all places and eras. To her, clay is a simple raw material that has been used to create precious objects: she uses aspects of both simplicity and preciousness in her work. Baker’s altered natural flora and fauna in the New Growth exhibition ask viewers to look more closely at the changing world around them.
