Beneath the Surface: Jon Hook + Andrea Peterson Exhibition

Beneath the Surface: Jon Hook + Andrea Peterson

July 5–September 1, 2024

Beneath the Surface explores our human relationship to the environment as a quest for process and transformation that is grounded both physically and in the abstract. Our connection with the natural relies on notions that are unseen, that require trust and the ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. With this body of work in ceramics, paper arts, prints, and artist books, Jon Hook and Andrea Peterson offer us origin myths, life cycle stories, sustainable lessons, and deep wonders.

Jon Hook and Andrea Peterson are Hook, Pottery, Paper located in LaPorte, Indiana. Their homestead studios were founded with the intention to create works of art and research in an environmentally sustainable manner. While they are deeply rooted in traditional artmaking methods, they add contemporary practices to reflect our contemporary world.
