Graphite on paper24 in x 35 in x 1.5 in (framed)Watsonville-based artist Joshua Moreno worked with the sculptures Adam and Eve in the Rodin Sculpture Garden, which depict the figures after their banishment from the Garden of Eden. Focusing on the shifting movement of natural light across their forms, he traced the shadow of Adam on June 13, 2020, from 2:08–5:50 PM, using graphite on a single sheet of paper. The following day, from 2:43–6:08 PM, he traced the shadow of Eve onto the same sheet. The overlapping silhouettes form an abstracted reunification of two bodies that remain physically separated.Joshua Moreno is the current artist-in-residence at the MAH, and holds an MFA from Stanford University.Generously Donated by The ArtistBuyers are responsible for shipping costs, and quotes will be provided upon purchase.

Glazed ceramic13.5 in x 8.5 in x 8.5 inEmily Yong Beck (b. 1999, Daegu, South Korea) is an interdisciplinary ceramic artist who received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute in 2021. Beck’s work has been featured in the solo exhibitions at Gaa Gallery Provincetown, MA, New Image Art, Los Angeles, CA, Lefebvre et Fils, Paris, FR, and The Pit, Los Angeles, CA. Beck has been awarded residences at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, Newcastle, ME, Township10, Marshall, NC, The Residency Program, Versaille, FR. Beck lives and works in Chicago, IL.&nbsp;Beck’s ceramic practice focuses on the examination of histories within ceramics, and how craft can be weaponized as tools for propaganda. The use of cartoons in her most recent body of work is driven by an investigation of propaganda through familiarity and cuteness. Cartoons are able to convey messages to viewers in a quick, simple, and fun way which makes the use of cartoons effective in rapid distribution of national propaganda. In her work, Beck strives to bring light to historical erasure due to imagery perceived as harmless, while at the same time leaning into the nostalgic warmth of familiar characters.Generously Donated by The PitBuyers are responsible for shipping costs, and quotes will be provided upon purchase.
