Uprooted: Studies in Fragility and Loss, a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Claire Sherwood and Lawre Stone, brings together two artists whose practices examine material transformation, vulnerability, and the emotional weight carried by physical and psychological landscapes.

In Uprooted, Sherwood and Stone respectively explore themes of loss and renewal through distinct yet deeply resonant visual languages. Together, their work invites viewers to consider what is discarded, what endures, and how meaning is shaped through acts of preservation and change.

The exhibit, talk and reception are free and open to the public.
