Join us on Saturday, February 4th, 2023 at 2pm EST for a panel discussion between "A Romance Of..." artists Cathy Della Lucia & Elspeth… More Schulze, moderated by artist Alison Croney Moses.
A Romance Of... explores the allure of wood in the practices of Cathy Della Lucia (Boston, Massachusetts) and Elspeth Schulze (Tulsa, Oklahoma). Approaching the material with care, Della Lucia and Schulze perform a love affair in their studios. In their tender hands, aided by chisels, saws, and progressive carving technologies, wood undergoes a metamorphosis. Suggesting artificial and biological forms, Della Lucia and Schulze’s works appear porous and fibrous, allowing expansion and contraction; breathing, as if a body. Wood is romanced into mimetic forms, coming alive to possibility of fleshy feeling, both hard and soft.

Alison Croney Moses is an artist, craftsperson, educator, art administrator, mother, and Black woman. She cultivates spaces of learning, making and sharing of art, craft and design that are welcoming and nurturing of the diverse identities that these spaces are built from. Her professional work weaves together her values and passions. She focuses on empowering youth and adults to use their knowledge, skills, and experiences to make positive change in the world around them.

Della Lucia received an MFA in sculpture from Boston University. She has recently exhibited at Piano Craft Gallery (Boston, Massachusetts), Able Baker Gallery (Portland, Maine), and internationally at Ara Art Center (Seoul, Korea) and Art Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark).

Elspeth Schulze (b. 1985, Grand Coteau, LA) is a visual artist from Southern Lousiana, a place where land and water meet. Recent work explores the idea of a porous place, a passage between one thing and another. Schulze holds an MFA in Ceramics from the University of Colorado Boulder, a BA in Literature from Loyola University New Orleans, and an AAS in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She is currently an artist in residence at the Tulsa Artist Fellowship in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
