The Johnson Gallery in the lower school:

Frances Hamilton, Raid the Toy Box

From the artist: “Moving between various media and formats is a way to stay excited in the studio. I typically work on multiple projects at once to maintain enthusiasm and a fresh eye. Vintage toys, books, and auction catalogues surround me in the studio. Carboard packing materials are just too promising to throw out. These are the leftover ingredients that a seasoned cook can use to create a delicious new dish.”

Upper School Gallery:
