Together, they will explore the ideas, influences, and meticulous craftsmanship that define Gunn’s work, offering guests a rare opportunity to hear directly from the artist about the creative process behind American Interior. The conversation will provide deeper insight into the exhibition’s themes and the ways in which material, memory, and interior space shape Gunn’s practice.

This series of work stems from her father’s decision to buy a mobile home in Melbourne Beach, FL, to escape the icy New Hampshire winters. Her technique illuminates this community, embodying the dream of retirement, which for many is actually the end of the road.

Kiki Gaffney’s work reflects the cyclical rhythms of nature, balancing slow, meditative processes with the unpredictable forces of changing seasons, sun, and wind. Her practice explores how natural “architectures”, patterns that emerge without imposed order, can inform and shape the structures of human life.
