Cannupa Hanska Luger's "Mirror Shield Project," 2016. A large group of people stand in a field somewhere that snow and ice is melting, a snow-covered hill and field visible behind them. They all wear cold-weather attire and hold floor-length mirrors fixed to natural wood backers and point the mirrors towards the sun, away from the melting snow.

    Conor McGrady's "Mountain Series," 2018-2022 (detail); gouache on paper; 22 x 32 inches. This black and white art work features large white mountains set against a stark black background, with small and scattered pine trees in foothills in the foreground.

The base of the work is created from four stoneware parts that fit together like a puzzle, glazed green. In the bottom left one is a black and white image of a chicken.
