For our ninth selling exhibition, Galerie 56 is pleased to collaborate with London's Sarah Myerscough Gallery for their much-anticipated inaugural exhibition in New York City.

The exhibition maintains a sharp focus on sculpture and design using natural materials, relishing a connection to the natural world. The work shown represents that of highly-skilled artist-designer-makers whose practices are grounded in craft-making traditions but defined by contemporary innovation.Through diverse making processes, the works on view celebrate the confluence of history, handmade technology, form, function, and look towards the future.

The artworks within the exhibition signify the restorative capacities of craft making processes. Envisioning craft as an ongoing and changing mode in which material and artist are in a potent and formative relationship with each other, the works are formed through distinctly contemporary approaches to craft and design.
