Old Flames In The Bowers brings together Cathy Akers, Lela Shahrzad Welch, and Chris Ulivo as they consider imagined pasts and possible futures. Akers envisions absurd, feminist utopias through ceramic forms; Welch constructs metal and found-object sculptures shaped by Persian folklore and the absence of personal archives; Ulivo paints earnest, speculative narratives in egg tempera, seeking truth within improbable worlds.
