- Marianne Weinberg-Benson
Continuing the metaphor of the building as a book, on the interior, ceramicist Weinberg-Benson has taken the pastel drawings off the surface of her vessels and teapots and has translated them into four Multicultural Myths, framed ceramic tiles that tell different stories from various parts of the world. These works, created in a ceramic cloisonné process developed by the artist, are installed along the front entrance hallway. Weinberg-Benson explores themes such as the various stages humans experience in life’s journey and the joy we experience from simple pleasures.
