Of Earth and Air at Gallery East

Price
November 10 – December 11, 2026
Closing Reception and Gallery Talk: Thursday, December 10, 6–8 p.m.

Gallery East at Utah State University Eastern presents Of Earth and Air, a group exhibition featuring four graduates of USU’s art program: Janimarie Lester DeRose, Dave Banga, Tom Alward and DeAnn Lester. Bringing together ceramic sculpture, pottery and painting, the exhibition explores connections to the natural world, spirituality and the passage of time.

DeRose’s sculptural figures draw inspiration from a folk legend of women who were once birds and the movement of time like a river. Ceramic vessels by Banga and Alward emphasize the tactile qualities of clay and its connection to the earth, while Lester’s paintings explore spirituality and the natural world. Curated by DeRose, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down and reconnect with elemental experiences of earth, air, sunlight and wind.
