Artists Beth Cavener, Peregrine Honig, Jenny Kindler, Lindsay Pichaske, and Merrie Wright utilize animal forms to mirror human psychology or to serve as metaphors for social, political, or environmental issues. Just as Cavener suggests that primitive animal instincts "lurk in our depths, waiting to slide past a conscious moment," Objectify aims to rekindle feelings of interconnection and wonderment.

Decorating with decals was once a highly technical process, invented and perfected by the ceramics industry. In the late 19th century, decals became a widely popular commodity, easily accessible to professionals and hobbyists alike. Decalcomaniacs celebrates this tradition and explores how 14 artists incorporate ready-made and custom imagery through a variety of processes and applications.
Featured artists: Brian Boldon, Jeremy R. Brooks, Pattie Chalmers, Rain Harris, Wesley Harvey, Meredith Host, Jeremy Kane, Robert Lorenz, Melissa Mencini, Mariko Paterson, Nathan Prouty, Justin Rothshank, Erik Scollon and Colleen Toledano.
