EXHIBIT

The exhibition A Shared Legacy: Gifts from the Robyn and John Horn Collection celebrates a transformative donation to Fuller Craft Museum’s permanent collection by collectors Robyn and John Horn. The important gift of 32 objects includes many significant examples of American craft by prominent artists such as Stephen De Staebler, Hoss Haley, Robyn Horn, Mary Giles, Harvey Littleton, Albert Paley, and more. Many craft media are represented in the grouping, including wood, metals, ceramic, basketry, glass, and stone.

Cicely Carew’s solo exhibition BeLOVEd invites viewers into a transformative realm where materials and environment merge, creating a sanctuary for reflection, spirituality, and exploration. Embracing improvisation, Carew shapes this immersive experience from a diverse mix of materials that together form an atmosphere that feels like a sacred space—a liminal zone where one can pause and feel embraced by the moment.

Carew’s visionary site-specific installation unites multiple media, capturing both the elemental and the transcendent: a constellation of ethereal sculptures reaches skyward; a layered soundscape resonates with a large-scale wall composition; video elements offer quiet, intimate spaces for reflection. The artworks in BeLOVEd serve as vessels of earth and air, holding memory and prayer, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things. Embedded with themes of ritual, prayer, Earth, and the maternal, these elements become symbols of transformation, signaling that we, too, are always shifting, flowing with the ever-evolving rhythms of the world around us.
