Neo-Istoriato. Artist Talk with Lindsay Montgomery

Join artist Lindsay Montgomery for an artist talk about her recent Neo-Istoriato series. This work re-imagines Renaissance Italian Maiolica ceramics and Medieval manuscript illustrations to create contemporary myths and cautionary tales. Her imagery and forms explore pagan rituals, feminine identity, modes of power, and encounters with the dead and supernatural, to highlight the persistent tensions with monarchy, colonialism, and capitalism that continue to perpetuate destruction and inequality today.

Montgomery was a student of Walter Ostrom and her work is included in the exhibition, Good Earth: The Pots and Passion of Walter Ostrom.
