FALLING THROUGH THE SPIRAL

Anya Roberts-Toney - Claiborne Colombo
Claire Elliot - Melissa Monroe - Tessa Heck

7.31.26 to 9.11.26

Falling Through the Spiral brings together four artists whose practices have been shaped, challenged, and expanded through motherhood. Rather than presenting motherhood as a singular experience, the exhibition embraces its contradictionsβ€”creation and exhaustion, tenderness and grief, routine and transformation. The works reflect the ways parenting reshapes perception, time, memory, and the creative process itself.

The exhibition title references the nonlinear experience of motherhood: a life that rarely moves in straight lines, but instead circles, repeats, deepens, and continually returns us to ourselves from new perspectives. Like a spiral, each season revisits familiar emotions while revealing unexpected growth.

Featuring painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibition offers a nuanced conversation around identity, labor, memory, and making. While rooted in the experiences of motherhood, the work resonates beyond parenthood, inviting viewers to consider the ways we are continually remade by the relationships and responsibilities that shape our lives.
