Trustman Art Gallery: Sea Glass is Diamond

Simmons University presents Sea Glass is Diamond, featuring work by Loretta Park. The exhibition is on view from Monday, October 30, 2023 to Friday, December 15, 2023

In Sea Glass is Diamond, Park combines traditional fiber-art techniques with colorful, ordinary, and accessible objects to create vibrant, tactile sculptures. Using everything from nylon rope, plastic ice-cube trays and mesh bags to recyclables and scraps of paper, reimagining the everyday is a cornerstone of Park’s work.
