Talking to Mother Clay: Pueblo Pottery from the GCMoA Collection
Talking to Mother Clay features works of Pueblo pottery donated to the Grinnell College Museum of Art by Ann Reddan Rustebakke ’49, who collected pottery from many of the Pueblos in the Southwest while living in New Mexico for more than 40 years. The works in this exhibition feature birds, which Indigenous potters have looked to as inspiration for vessel shapes and painted designs since the beginning of Pueblo pottery traditions.

Ingrid Lilligren: Tactile Meditations
This exhibition features 18 projects by Ingrid Lilligren. Her art incorporates Braille text to explore social, cultural, and political blindness. Using this visual language can give sighted viewers the experience of being temporarily “othered.” Several works have words in Braille carved into or embossed onto the forms, and some use tiles or pegs to spell out the statement. Her subjects range from concepts about beauty to meditations on climate change. Poems by Debra Marquart, Distinguished Professor in Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University and outgoing Poet Laureate of Iowa, are used in three pieces.
Image: Ingrid Lilligren, Blue Dream, 2020. Ceramic, wood, ice, unfired clay, sheet metal, 64 x 45 x 30 in.
