About the Exhibition ...

Rayne Nevins’ solo exhibition, Echoes of Unconformity, delves into the deconstruction of gender, sex, and beauty within their work. The exhibition features hand-thrown ceramics, printmaking, and drawing—each medium deeply influenced by figure drawing and the human form. In their ceramic pieces, Rayne carves multiple human figures onto the surface using a technique called sgraffito, while their 2D works focus on individual figures, emphasizing texture and value. Rayne describes their style as “rough around the edges,” with the work’s irregular quality mirroring the imperfection of the human body. Through their art, Rayne hopes viewers can see themselves reflected in the pieces.
