Virtual Artist and Curators Conversation

Phoebe Cummings, Susannah Baker-Smith, and Susan Bright

Friday, June 14, 2:30 p.m. 
Stream it live

Join artist Phoebe Cumming and curators Susannah Baker-Smith and Susan Bright for a virtual discussion of Cummings’s series of short films titled Towards a Flower, featured in the exhibition “Don’t we touch each other just to prove we are still here?”: Photography and Touch, on view at Art on Hulfish through August 4. Cummings explores ceramics as a time-based medium, recycling and reusing the clay in different locations. The traces of physical interaction between body and raw material are always present, and the clay takes an active role in the work, enacting its own slow performance as it drips, dries, shrinks, and cracks. Free registration here.

Adrienne Neszmelyi-Romano's jewelry is inspired by the various environments she encounters through her travels. Her work is rooted in organic shapes, textures, patterns, and surfaces in nature, particularly the irregular contours of river rocks.  

Practicing traditional metalsmithing techniques, Adrienne uses patina to highlight contrasting surfaces and textures—resulting in some pieces with a matte finish and others with a high polish.  

Shop in person at 56 Nassau Street in downtown Princeton or online at princetonmuseumstore.org. Members receive a discount on every purchase. Join today
