Hostetter Arts Center Gallery
Current Show: Ruth Borgenicht, an Exhibition
The Hostetter Arts Center Gallery is pleased to present Ruth Borgenicht, an exhibition on view from April 1 through April 24, 2025. This exhibit features an impressive collection of ceramic sculptures, many of which incorporate interlocking ceramic rings to create intricate, dynamic forms. Through these rings, Borgenicht weaves a fabric of stone-like matrices, creating a visual tapestry that speaks to both fragility and strength. The rings, meticulously crafted and connected, form sculptures that suggest movement and connection, evoking the complexities of human relationships and the natural world.
Borgenicht’s ability to seamlessly blend these interlocking elements invites viewers to explore the delicate balance between structure and fluidity. The tactile quality of the clay enhances the experience, drawing attention to the fine details of each piece. Her work captures a sense of unity and interconnectedness, transforming the medium of ceramics into a powerful language of sculptural expression.
Along with an extensive exhibition catalog, Borgenicht has been awarded two NJ State Council on the Arts Fellowships and taught workshops and been a visiting artist at many schools. She currently teaches at Montclair State University in Montclair NJ.
This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to experience Borgenicht’s innovative approach to ceramic art and the profound emotional resonance of her work.
