Exhibition: Molly Altman and Sabrina Piersol "FLORAL PANIC"
2026-06-12 11:00 - 2026-07-24 17:00 | The Art Base, 174 Midland Ave., Basalt, CO, 81621, United States
Opening Reception: Friday, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM
Artist Talk: Friday, June 12 at 5:30 PM
On view: June 12 to July 24, 2026
Molly Altman’s ceramic sculptures explore the fragile balance between resilience and impermanence in the natural world. Working with flora gathered from the Carbondale landscapes and flowers, leaves, vines, and grasses, she dips these materials in porcelain and fires them, transforming organic forms into delicate, ghostlike structures. By reassembling these elements onto hand-built ceramic frameworks, Altman creates intricate micro-environments that echo the ecologies from which they came. Her work honors the abundance and vulnerability of the Roaring Fork Valley, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship to a rapidly changing environment.
Sabrina Piersol’s paintings emerge from a spark of inspiration a loose sketch, a color palette, or a single natural form before unfolding into an intuitive, responsive process. Guided by presence and improvisation, she follows each mark as it appears, allowing the composition to evolve with the same unpredictability and openness found in meditation. Her work prioritizes the relationships of color, form, and movement, resulting in dynamic, emotionally resonant paintings shaped by both intention and discovery.

Art Lunch is our routine excuse to gather around the table. Bring a bagged lunch and let conversation roam. Some weeks we’ll toss in a discussion prompt to get things rolling, but mostly it’s about food, company, and a potluck of ideas.
Exhibition Details
Opening Reception: Friday, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM
Artist Talk: Friday, June 12 at 5:30 PM
On view: June 12 to July 24, 2026
The Art Base is pleased to present Floral Panic, an exhibition featuring the ceramics of Molly Altman and the paintings of Sabrina Piersol. The exhibition explores the artists’ engagement with natural motifs and abstraction. By loosening the constraints of representation, Altman and Piersol envision new, unrestrained ecosystems. Please join the Art Base at our opening reception Friday, June 12th from 5 – 7 PM, with an art talk at 5:30 PM. Admission is free and open to the public.
The worlds within these abstractions emerge from different motivations. For Altman, there is an echo of the impossible bouquets of Dutch still life painting: arrangements that could never exist in nature and reflect on impermanence. Both appear to overcome natural limitations, creating an uncanny sense of abundance. Altman begins by collecting local flora such as thistle, mullein, and amaranth, coating them in multiple thin layers of liquified porcelain. After a meticulous process, the works are fired in a kiln, which vitrifies the clay while burning away the organic plant material and preserving its hollow shell. These delicate, semi-translucent objects are then assembled at impossible densities to create rich, lush environments.
Piersol approaches painting as a sensory collage—a combination of poetry, energy, and exploration. Floral imagery acts as a point of familiarity within her abstractions; its specificity grounds connections between poppies from California, irises from Colorado, and the mountains of Death Valley, bridging distant settings. The spaces within the paintings often hold moments of instability, as though their physics have not fully settled. For Piersol, this instability is formally similar to the Sapphic texts of Ancient Greece: classical poetry that exists only in fragments yet leaves room for projection in the gaps.
From these processes, fragility emerges as a central condition of being. In Altman’s work, the thin translucent ceramics preserve the delicacy of flora by translating it into a material that retains vulnerability, its intricacy demanding care. In Piersol’s paintings, the soft instability of space allows color, luminosity, and form to gently overtake fixed logic with delight.
For both artists, flora behaves like a melody: a rich interior language shaped through encounters with the natural world.
