Clara Degalan

My studio practice seeks an intimate, reverent relationship with the Earth on which I live by opening a path between the visible world and the mythic realm of the psyche. I explore this intention with a tool kit of imagery and objects, including landscape, art history, blue painter’s tape, physical artifacts such as feathers, birch bark, seed pods, and wood, Jungian archetypes, New Age imagery, and resonant tidbits from popular culture. I aim, with this practice, to upend accepted ideas of value, commodity, and sophistication in a way that, hopefully, makes way for new ideas about our relationship to our history, our land, and our spiritual life. cwdegalan@gmail.com (734) 834-9533

Jessica Wildman

Lately I’ve been pulling teeth, mashing berries, and crawling into yard waste bags. It’s a spiritual journey, my life and art, and they are completely intertwined. I might become enraptured by the heavy metaphor of a humble zipper while sewing one onto my daughter’s Halloween costume—connecting/disconnecting, two becoming one/one becoming two, or find myself entranced by her purple pokeberry stained hands—vibrant, beautiful, yet transient and uncontainable. I might engage with the flitting shadows of tiny aster flowers while weeding the garden—Aster, from the Latin ‘a star’, emitter of light so untouchable, yet held in my hand. In these moments, in the throes of surviving, I’m guided by the quiet poetry of the familiar, always looking closely, listening, and seeking a deep understanding of material, place, history, and relationships. Discovering duality, I lean into it. I find kinship with material, it responds to the quality of my touch, and transformation unfolds. It is a theme in my work, and through it, I too am changed. 

I blend processes transmitted via heritage and formal training with a resourceful, ecological approach—creating from domestic and discarded materials, reusing elements from past projects, and incorporating the bounty cultivated in my backyard. Working kaleidoscopically across performance, installation, sculpture, textiles, photography, and video, I delve into the slippery connections between humans, the world we share, and the great unknown. 

BIO

Jessica Wildman Katz is a mother, musician, poet, gardener, and interdisciplinary visual artist based in Highland Park, MI. Jessica’s dynamic practice evolves from her analogue photography background capturing uncanny slice-of-life moments, fabricating absurd cameras, and constructing surrealist tableaus. Her vocational training as an apprentice to a builder fostered her devotion to the poetry of material, labor, and process.

She is a first-generation college graduate, earning her BFA and MFA from Wayne State University where she received the Award of Excellence from the Academy of Scholars for her creative research. Her work has been presented at the Grand Rapids Art Museum, MoCAD, and Muskegon Museum of Art, among others. She maintains a live-performance practice, recently activating a plethora of public spaces in Detroit-Metro with her performance-turned-short film Motherling, which had its premiere on public access television on Mother’s Day in 2025.

Ryan Herberholz

Ryan is a painter who creates otherworldly landscapes and sculptural objects. He draws inspiration from frequent trips into the Michigan wilderness as well as locations in Detroit’s North End neighborhood where he lives and works. Ryan received his BFA from the Stamps School at the University of Michigan in 2012 and his MFA from Wayne State University in 2018. He has completed several community murals in Detroit and frequently exhibits work in the city and the surrounding region. ryanherberholz.com instagram.com/ryanherberholz/
