Esther Ervin: Gardening for the Soul, June 2–29

The Miller Library is excited to welcome artist Esther Ervin to exhibit her work in June. In her words:

“My work spans varied mediums: metal work, ceramics, sculpture, and fiber. Since completing the Editions Studio’s Black and Indigenous People’s Book Arts Residency, my practice focuses on book and print arts, including botanical contact prints.

The best of these will accompany the hand-bound artist book, Gardening for the Soul, containing 16 hand-tinted etchings paired with quotes from the unpublished memoir of James W. Washington reflecting his spiritual growth.

Mr. Washington, an artist of note in the Northwest School, lived in my neighborhood, and I have been involved with the foundation bearing his name in several capacities for over 20 years.”

This exhibition will run from June 2-29. Esther Ervin will be at the Miller Library for a Meet the Artist event on Saturday, June 6^th from 12-2:30pm.
