Myth & Stillness unites Suzy Birstein’s vivid figurative sculptures with June Yun’s serene paintings, showcasing two artistic responses to inner landscapes shaped by memory and change. Birstein reimagines iconic women artists like Frida Kahlo and Leonora Carrington as mythic figures in clay, adorned with symbolic details that celebrate feminine creativity and resilience. In contrast, Yun’s quiet, minimalist paintings use motifs like water and blossoms to evoke calm and clarity.
The works explore how women navigate the world as powerful paths to freedom, whether through myth-making or stillness.

during this panel discussion, the two artists will reflect on their process, their work and answer questions from Curator Sarah Dobbs
