For sculpture artist Chala Toprak, the process is as much spiritual as it is technical, requiring patience, presence, and a surrender to the forces often described as the “kiln gods.” When the kiln is finally opened, the results are not simply functional outcomes but moments of revelation. The ash reemerges as glaze, transforming and honoring each surface—its mark both a signature of fire and a vessel’s second life, revealed in full glory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio to discover Toprak’s work.

Michael DeSutter’s series ‘On The Rote Path’ marks an early exploration into his growing awareness of the routines that now shape his life. Through this body of work, DeSutter reflects on the realization that life is not defined entirely by spontaneity—if it ever was—and that routine can provide a meaningful foundation for living. This understanding takes visual form in the repetition of straight lines and “broken” corners, symbolic of common paths and the gradual wear they endure over time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As with many of his recent works, these pieces are created on vintage stamp album pages, reminiscent of those his grandfather used to collect stamps as a boy. For DeSutter, the choice of surface serves as both a nod to personal history and an apt method of cataloging his process of discovery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio to discover DeSutter’s work.

In this meditative process, wood is stoked continuously for more than one hundred hours, its flames consuming each stack until only ash remains. Yet ash is not merely an ending—it is a quiet catalyst for rebirth, settling unpredictably across the vessels to leave behind rare and radiant traces of new life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For Toprak, the process is as much spiritual as it is technical, requiring patience, presence, and a surrender to the forces often described as the “kiln gods.” When the kiln is finally opened, the results are not simply functional outcomes but moments of revelation.

Catherine Lucky Chang’s new series of etchings on handmade abaca paper is abstract, gestural, and emotive. Intentionally printed to emphasize the translucency of the paper, the work honors both image and support equally. The repetition inherent in the printing process evokes a sense of ritual, marking time through carved gestures and ink impressions on sheets of abaca in varying tones. Together, the prints form a quiet meditation on presence, materiality, and process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio to discover Chang’s latest work.

“If my art could speak, it would say: Come, sit with me, and let us listen to the silence together. Dream with me… fly with me in thought… Sometimes, someone in my paintings whispers: Love me, hold me… And sometimes, a still life simply stands there, waiting to be seen.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ New paintings by Aliya Abs are now available at the link in our bio.

Marleigh Culver’s original abstract paintings emerge from a deeply personal process that blends memory, emotion, and myth. Working intuitively, Culver allows paint to move and settle with minimal intervention, creating forms that feel both deliberate and organic—visual echoes of landscapes, feelings, and fleeting images stored in the subconscious. Rooted in a period shaped by both love and grief, this new body of work channels a softened strength, where compositional choices are guided by Rorschach-like impressions from memory and emotion. Each painting becomes a meditation on vulnerability, shaped as much by lived experience as by visual instinct. The works gesture toward symbolic narratives and internal worlds, anchoring ephemeral moments in form and color. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio to discover Culver’s latest work.
