August 1 - September 20, 2025
108|Contemporary is thrilled to present the work of Lissa Hunter, Jane Sauer, Jo Stealey, and Carol Stein in Still, on view August 1 – September 20, 2025.
Artists and friends for several decades, Lissa Hunter, Jane Sauer, Jo Stealey and Carol Stein have had many conversations between and among themselves, encompassing a broad range of topics from personal tragedy, world politics and of course their own studio practices. During Covid, the four met virtually to chat and to stay connected. Out of these virtual conversations, the seed for this exhibition took hold.
The exhibition, Still, is a look at life from four perspectives over time. We are still artists working with fiber processes—stitches, weaving, paint, cloth, paper. We are still friends, passionate about our practices. We tell stories through objects that are intended to capture still shots from our ongoing experiences. Ideas for the work to be presented range among the stories of objects themselves (Hunter), issues of compassion and social justice (Sauer), celebration of the mundane (Stealey) and glimpses of the psychological landscape (Stein).
Out of stillness comes observation.
Out of observation comes awareness.
Out of awareness comes our work.
Exhibition Opening: August 1, 2025 from 6:00 – 9:00 pm
