Ceramics Take Over Wheeling
Earth & Fire — Timeless Collaborations by Jillian Heusohn
On Display February 27 – April 7
Opening reception on Friday, February 27, from 7–9 p.m.
Timeless Collaborations is a solo exhibition featuring Jillian Heusohn, 2025 Intercollegiate Ceramics Best in Show artist. This body of work explores the dialogue between past and present, inspired by Heusohn’s childhood drawings preserved by her family for decades. Through drawing, tracing, screen-printing, and transferring these early images onto ceramic forms, the artist reconnects with a forgotten past. Adult experiences shape the canvas, while her inner child infuses each vessel with playfulness and whimsy, celebrating the softness and silliness of girlhood.
