On view concurrently: KELSEY FINNIE: Organizing Chaos
"Going through family struggles that have dealt with loss and loneliness; I‘ve endeavored to make life a wonderful and unforgettable adventure and I’ve asked glass to live the same. This work has been an ongoing installation of constant reflection upon my life and my ability to find the balance. Along this journey, my life being in a constant state of motion has had little stability like that of this molten material." The exhibition is a result of Kelsey Finnie’s Best in Show Award in the Virginia Glass Guild Juried Exhibition 2017.
