Join the artist Phoebe Cummings, together with curators Susannah Baker-Smith and Susan Bright, for a virtual discussion of Cummings’s short films Towards a Flower, which are featured in the exhibition “Don’t we touch each other just to prove we are still here?”: Photography and Touch, on view at Art on Hulfish through August 4. Cummings explores ceramics as a time-based medium. Each intricately hand-modeled work is durational, and the same clay may be recycled and reused in different locations. The traces of physical interaction between body and raw material are always present, and the clay takes an active role in the work, enacting its own slow performance as it drips, dries, shrinks, and cracks.
