Dear Life: Opening Reception

Hunt Art Gallery will host an Opening Reception for “Dear Life” on Friday, June 26th at 6pm. In Dear Life, Erin Long Loganathan embraces the ugly-pretty reality of being human. Working intuitively across painting, ceramics, embroidery, and assemblage, she allows materials to lead the way – a scribble becomes a girl, a bell becomes a doll, and a broken object becomes something newly whole. Flowers, lemons, dolls, and stitched fragments become symbols of impermanence, resilience, and the quiet ways we care for ourselves and one another.

In Dear Life, Erin Long Loganathan embraces the ugly-pretty reality of being human. Working intuitively across painting, ceramics, embroidery, and assemblage, she allows materials to lead the way – a scribble becomes a girl, a bell becomes a doll, and a broken object becomes something newly whole. Flowers, lemons, dolls, and stitched fragments become symbols of impermanence, resilience, and the quiet ways we care for ourselves and one another. Throughout the exhibition, Long Loganathan explores what it means to find beauty without denying difficulty. Drawing inspiration from gratitude practices, childhood wonder, mental health, community, and the philosophy of repair, her work celebrates transformation not as perfection, but as a willingness to begin again.

Dear Life offers a hopeful proposition that even when life spins wildly beyond our control, there remains beauty in holding on, paying attention, and creating something meaningful from what we have been given. The show exhibition is on display from June 26th through August 22nd. Click here for details.
