SUMMARY:Art Lunch with Sabrina Piersol and Molly Altman
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 10\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nJoin us for Art Lunch with our exhibiting artist\, Savanna LaBauve\, as we dine and discuss art and anything else! This is a great chance to walk through their current exhibition\, Echoes\, and ask questions or connect. \nArt 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. \nExhibition Details\nOpening Reception: Friday\, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, June 12 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: June 12 to July 24\, 2026 \nThe 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.  \nThe 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.  \nPiersol 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.   \nFrom 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.   \nFor both artists\, flora behaves like a melody: a rich interior language shaped through encounters with the natural world.   \n  \nGenerously sponsored by Krista Klees and Palladium Group\, and Z Group Architecture & Interior Design \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Molly Altman and Sabrina Piersol "FLORAL PANIC"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, June 12 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: June 12 to July 24\, 2026 \nMolly 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. \nSabrina 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. \nGenerously sponsored by Krista Klees and Palladium Group\, and Z Group Architecture & Interior Design \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Closing Artist Talk with Savanna LaBauve
DESCRIPTION:Closing Artist Talk with Savann LaBauve\nSaturday\, June 6\n4:00 PM – 5:00 PM\nFree and open to the public\n  \nJoin artist Savanna LaBauve at the close of Echoes for an artist talk and the unveiling of Textures of Topography. During the opening reception\, the community was invited to leave their barefoot mark on a large slab of clay — that piece has since been fired and returns to the gallery transformed. Come see what we made together\, hear more about the ideas behind the show\, and celebrate the close of the exhibition. \n  \n\n\n\n \nExhibition Details\nOn view: May 8 – June 6\, 2026 Opening Reception: Friday\, May 8 | 5:00–7:00 PM Location: The Art Base\, 174 Midland Ave\, Basalt\, CO Admission: Free and open to the public \n\nAbout the Artist\nSavanna LaBauve is a ceramic artist based in Carbondale\, Colorado. With a background in painting and drawing\, her practice has evolved over the past six years into a deeply tactile exploration of form\, material\, and process. Her work investigates repetition\, memory\, and transformation through hand-built ceramic forms that balance structure and fragility.  \nAbout Echoes \nThe Art Base is pleased to present Echoes\, a solo exhibition by Carbondale-based ceramic artist Savanna LaBauve\, on view May 8 through June 6\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, May 8\, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM\, with an artist talk at 5:30 PM.  Echoes is a sister show to Orbit\, opening a few weeks later at Seesaw Gallery in South Denver; together\, the two shows thematically explore the idea of constellations and their points of intersection. In LaBauve’s practice\, echoes are the reverberations of previous choices and ideas\, returning from somewhere else slightly anew — distorted by time and experience. The connective tissue is what gets left behind\, and how that memory shapes what comes after.   \n\nThis exhibition is sponsored by Karen White Interior Design\, and we are grateful to our 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank. \n                \n       \n\nPresent in this exhibition are what LaBauve calls “portals” — rectangular forms built around a deliberate absence\, a cut-out at the center that draws the eye inward. Some of these portals feel like longstanding caverns\, others are suspended in their forward momentum\, a snapshot in time. The portals carry a sense of struggle: to puncture primarily\, but also to preserve the space between. As the mass around them presses in\, there is a sense of vulnerability in how they resist the weight of the clay. The work suggests that an absence is contingent: a space can is best perceived when it is in danger of collapsing. These sculptures ask the viewer to consider the space as the subject — a thin threshold between what is\, what was\, and what could be.     \nA recurring theme in the work is bifurcation\, where one becomes two\, like trees branching or rivers forking. In the series of pierced sculptures that resemble baskets\, this plays out through a dialogue between object and shadow. A cyanotype\, a sun-printed photographic record of shadow\, captures the outline of one structure\, and that shadow becomes the blueprint for the next. The process repeats\, as each shadow inflects and distorts the form of the next sculpture— a process LaBauve likens to memory. Solid and inanimate become interchangeable\, as the work moves forward\, alternating between directions — the shadow sometimes leading the form for a change.   For LaBauve\, the work is formed by pinch and touch\, a slow process of mark-making with an emphasis on remaining a physical record.   \nThe exhibition opening also includes a participatory artwork and public event\, Textures of Topography\, on Friday\, May 8\, from 5 – 7 PM at the Art Base gallery. Visitors are invited to make barefoot impressions in clay\, adding their marks to those already there. Over the course of the event\, these layers will overlap and change one another. The finished piece will be fired and returned to the gallery later in the exhibition\, creating a shared record shaped by many people.
