Knockin' On Your Screen Door Opening Reception

knockin’ on your screen door is an exhibition at the Overlook Gallery featuring the recent work of Ezri Horne and Indigo Conat-Naar, two local sculptors. Both artists delve into their memories to excavate objects and materials—clay, baskets, hair, Goodwill shelves, neoprene, silverware—to create works that navigate the impossible distances between land, people, and the artists’ senses of home and heritage. More on the exhibition here. Ezri Horne’s practice spans ceramics, woodworking, printmaking, and browsing the aisles of home improvement stores. Horne inserts moments of tenderness and humor into otherwise stoic and commonplace forms using unexpected materials and tedious craft processes. Horne, originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, graduated from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 2022 with a BA in Anthropology and a BFA in Studio Art. Their work has recently been included in exhibitions at Piano Craft Gallery, Gallery 263, and Commonwealth Clayworks. They currently live and work in the Boston area.

Recently, her work has been shown at the Boston Sculptors Gallery Launchpad, Installation Space, and Merrimack College’s McCoy Gallery.
