Nancy Callan and Katherine Gray, Roly-Poly, 2018, blown, sculpted glass with enamels, 14.5”h x 9”d, Courtesy of the Artists, photo credit: Russell Johnson

The result of a four-year-long collaboration in glass, Callan and Gray explore our collective experiences with —and reactions to—clowns.

Whether found in childhood memories, in circuses and parades, among those we love, or in our political worlds, clowns seem to be everywhere. — OPEN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 —
