Brian Kluge and Rachelle Miller: Scratching the Surface
March 4-April 16. Brian Kluge and Rachelle Miller are both ceramicists in the Madison, Wisconsin area.
Brian Kluge creates geometric forms and a palette of ‘basic color,” to create works that are an allusion to artifacts. He uses variations of spheres and cubes, both in whole and in fragments as a starting point and abstracts these to create work that is open-ended in their minimal simplicity. He uses a controlled color palette of red, yellow, green, and blue, the core of a color theory which are the building blocks of all color. Kluge uses a variation of unique clay and surface techniques to create a look that is weathered, giving a sense that the pieces are much older than they actually are.
Rachelle Miller’s ceramic work focuses on organic patterns. She uses texture, color, and layering to create small, individual pieces which when displayed together form a community. Miller uses the potter’s wheel and hand-building techniques to create her work. She also uses printing, etching, layering, and multiple firing methods to achieve the surfaces she desires.

Everyday Heaven
January 24-March 29. Everyday Heaven is a transhistorical exhibition about rural Wisconsin presented by two artists—Rafael Francisco Salas (b.1973) and Charles Van Schaick (1852-1946). Photographer Charles Van Schaick lived and worked in Black River Falls, Wisconsin for 60 years, gaining international recognition with the publication of the book, Wisconsin Death Trip by Michael Lesy in 1973. The book pairs Van Schaick’s photographs with newspaper accounts of illness, mayhem, farm accidents, and suicides. Van Schaick’s photographs are formal and theatrical in the pageantry of individuals that commissioned portraits. Rafael Francisco Salas grew up in rural Wisconsin and now lives in Ripon, WI. Salas examines the conflicts and beauty of rural Wisconsin. His paintings explore the history of colonization, agriculture, and his own family’s story of seasonal farming and labor. This new body of work is centered around the theme of the county fair.
Both artists cross the historic divide of time to portray rural truths—that the land was cultivated and lives were lived with dignity in partnership with diverse populations. Salas did not make this body of work directly in reference to Van Schaick’s photographs but similarities of mood and cadence surface. Salas often uses color blocks or pixel patterns to interrupt the imagery, bringing the properties of painting to the surface. Likewise, when the emulsion fails on a glass plate by Van Schaick, an interruption of technique skews the imagery in expressive ways.
These formal elements represent the ultimate fabrication of histories. Together, the artwork of Salas and Van Schaick contradict assumptions about what it means to live in rural America, who can lay claim to its identit(ies), and how poetry and history can interweave to create a mysterious and haunting record of where we live.
