Malia Jensen transforms familiar forms and subjects into poignant reflections on the human condition. This selection of recent ceramic and glass works glorifies sustenance and nourishment with gorgeously crafted, delicate forms. Changing attitudes and approaches to food--making it, craving it, not being able to find it, and self-medicating with it--has easily become one of the most common experiences during 2020. The sensual shapes of Jensen's fruits also wink at the challenges to intimacy posed by social distancing.

Joan Linder's drawings and sculptures of quotidian subjects find inspiration from her immediate surroundings. Linder makes daily drawings from direct observation, which are often paired with objects fashioned from foam and duct tape. Mundane objects, pop culture, repetition, and nature corkscrew into a lifelong obsession with the passage of time. Several of the works presented here were created during quarantine, and represent the goods we bought or tried to buy, especially in bulk, this year. 

John Wood and Paul Harrison make single-channel videos, multi-screen video installations, prints, drawings, and sculptures that elegantly fuse advanced aesthetic research with existential comedy. The artists' spare, to-the-point works feature the actions of their own bodies, a wide variety of static and moving props, or combinations of both to illustrate the triumphs and tribulations of making art and having a life. The works presented this week represent two things we consumed in large quantities this year: How to Ruin a Good Book and Good Book 1 stand in for the uptick in reading, and 100 Boxes and Six Boxes nod to the mushrooming of online shopping.
