Risks, Rituals, & Ruptures

Jane Hesser, Catherine LeComte Lecce, Ellen Shattuck Pierece, and Ellen Wetmore

October 9, 2025 to January 11, 2026

‘Risks, Rituals, & Ruptures’ brings together four artists who map reproduction and care—its risks, rituals, and ruptures—and the charged pause between what was and what will be. Across drawing, pattern, and photography, the works ask how we carry loss and continue to live inside the no-longer and the not-yet.
