Twilight Craft Table


 Dan Gibbons, Nancy Anne McPhee, Philippa Gibbons, Helena Gibbons


During the month of July 2023, partners Dan and Nancy will develop the exhibit Twilight Craft Table with their children Philippa and Helena. Nancy participated in parent and child residencies led by MOTHRA in 2022 and 2023, where artists are encouraged to collapse the traditional boundaries between artmaking and parenting, rather than seeing art creation as parallel to child raising.The foundation for the collaborative artwork is the introductory medium of ceramic coil pots and pinch pots, gathered in groupings as though kin. The work suggests liminal absence, interior spaces, and a twilight exhaustion. 
 Collaborating with Philippa and Helena on this show has opened up questions on the nature of collaboration and compromise, skill and perspective.  
Please join us for the closing reception on Sunday July 23rd, 3-5pm. There will be a craft table.
