2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. This 2014 sculpture is by American ceramicist Helen Otterson. Her works are full of organic shapes that reference life forms from human cells to pathogens to succulents. Her art highlights the relationship between humans and the natural world– particularly the survival instinct that drives and shapes many diverse forms of life.
