Fuller Craft Museum June 24 , 2023 - November 5 , 2023 Joyce J. Scott: Messages celebrates the renowned career of Joyce J. Scott, an acclaimed Baltimore artist who for over three decades has elevated the possibilities of beadwork as a relevant contemporary art form. Scott uses off-loom hand-threaded beads and blown glass to create arresting jewelry, figurative sculptures, and wall hangings informed by her African American ancestry, the craft traditions of her family (including her quilter mother Elizabeth T. Scott), and traditional Native techniques, such as the “peyote” stitch. Scott’s subject matter, whether social and political commentary, violence, gender, or human relationships, reflects the artist’s narrative of what it means to be Black in America. Messages is organized by Mobilia Gallery. https://fullercraft.org/event/joyce-scott-messages/

Fuller Craft Museum May 13, 2023 - March 3, 2024 Material Mapping: Data-driven Sculpture by Adrien Segal & Norwood Viviano features two artists working at the intersection of information and craft. Using a range of materials, from glass to wood to steel, Adrien Segal and Norwood Viviano transform data into tactile, sculptural forms. Segal seeks to bridge the divide between scientific observation and emotional engagement, with objects that examine disruptions to our natural environment. Also responding to change, Viviano creates artwork that materializes industry-related population shifts. Together, the artists offer dimensional pathways for understanding the world around us and our lasting impact upon it. https://fullercraft.org/event/material-mapping-data-driven-sculpture-by-adrien-segal-and-norwood-viviano/
