Play Fight: A Search for Connection
Visual Artists in Residence Exhibition
November 2 – December 7, 2024
Play Fight showcases the work of the Dougherty’s current Ceramic Visual Artists in Residence, Diane Sung, Chelsea Biggerstaff and Chance Ramirez.
Diane Sung’s work visualizes the distortion of language through fragmented letters and metaphorical landscapes, where figures navigate themes of discovery, code-switching, and wayfinding. Chelsea Biggerstaff’s work explores the rituals of sobriety and the generational scars of addiction through wood panel sculptures and masks, reflecting a powerful journey of healing and transformation. Inspired by a career in mental health, Chance Ramirez (they/them/theirs) makes hand-built works about pleasure, pain, and joyful resistance for people who like getting lost in the details.
