Mayuko Ono Gray: 諸行無常_this too, shall pass
"諸行無常_this too, shall pass" features the work of Mayuko Ono Gray, an accomplished graphite artist based in Houston, Texas. Born in Gifu, Japan, she was trained in traditional Japanese calligraphy in her youth and later studied classical Western drawing before receiving her MFA in painting from the University of Houston. Ono Gray's powerfully large graphite drawings include people, animals, and still-life intertwined with hiragana and kanji characters that spell out Japanese proverbs associated with the images. This calligraphic writing is a continuous line that moves through the work as a metaphor for life and the passage of time. She also expresses this interest in the journey from birth to death by creating one self-portrait a year to document the changes in her own life.

When the Bough Breaks
Organized by Suzanne Slavick, "When the Bough Breaks" is a collection of paintings accompanied by poetry and the written word that embraces the tree — materially and conceptually — through figure and metaphor, analysis and allegory, and as record and reflection. Facing ongoing human conflict and impending climate catastrophe, the reality or representation of trees can offer solace and space — for the necessity of talking and listening.
