"Motherly" Exhibition

Joe Maurer ‘98 is currently collaborating with artists Tim Brudnicki and Ross Nordquist to create Motherly, a captivating mixed-media installation that pays homage to the profound bond between a mother and her child.

The centerpiece of their collaboration is a larger-than-life representation of a nest, symbolizing the simplicity and intricate craftsmanship inherent in these natural structures. The installation features a meticulous blend of harvested materials, expertly woven and arranged to mimic the organic beauty of nests found in nature. Each artist brings a distinct style and approach to the creation, reflecting their interpretations of maternal care and cultural continuity.
