ADS Gallery presents Earthlings: ceramics, paintings, and book collaboration by Corinne Beardsley and Sludge Thunder. Beardsley’s
marbled cross-sections of native clay and glaze undulate open to
reveal symmetrical figures and symbols. Sludge Thunder’s energetic
paintings present uncanny metaphors, objects worthy of attention, with
charming characters that teeter between fiction and reality.
