Visit the gallery today to see Nyugen E. Smith's (@bundlehouse) New York solo debut, "Bundlehouse: Just When You Thought It Was Safe."⁠ Fall hours at the gallery have resumed! We are open Wed — Sat, 12-6pm. ⁠ ⁠ Guided by the Yoruba concept of ase, Nyugen constantly assesses and alters his pieces, borrowing elements from previous artworks to affix to new until the object indicates to its maker that it is ready. The artist finds enchantment in everyday materials and meditation in repetitive movements such as stitching, hammering, collaging and cutting. He receives gifts of fabrics, magazines and tchotchkes from friends in various localities and rehomes them in his works. This ritual expands his connection to communities across regions.⁠ ⁠ Pictured: Nyugen E.
