open Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5pm

Morgann Trumbull Projects is proud to announce our inaugural exhibition, …before you become forest again…, a pop-up presentation featuring work by Conrad Guevara, Nathan Lynch, Anna Kunz, and Karla Wozniak. The exhibition will be on view from June 9 to July 5, 2025. The exhibition centers around concepts of growth, collapse, and regeneration across the medium of sculpture, painting, and print.

The title, …before you become forest again…, is taken from a Rainer Maria Rilke poem from his Book of Hours. The underlying concepts of growth, decline, and renewal that infuse Rilke’s poem are ever relevant in our world, from personal, societal, environmental, economic, or technological. We each experience these patterns throughout near and distant history.

Echoing Rilke, whether in the repetition of gesture, the reuse of found materials, the layering of color, or the additive process of the accumulation clay forms, the artists in the exhibition each address the regenerative process in which one action informs and provides foundation for subsequent action. Each aspect of their work acts as a call and response to the subsequent step, constantly building, modifying, adjusting, and creating something new that could not exist without its predecessor. The artists, whether consciously or unconsciously, address the repetitive, the circular, the recurring, and the periodic and capture an energy that poignantly resonates in this moment in time.
