Aileen Chen, If We Make It Bloom, installation of upcycled materials
Julia C. Butridge Gallery Exhibit: Metamorphosis: The Alchemy of Waste
When: Mondays-Saturdays, 10 a.m. Continues through May 9 2026
“Metamorphosis” is a collection of works by artist Aileen Chen that explores the beauty and possibilities in giving new life to "waste." Reclaimed fabrics are sculpted into vibrant blooms. Unwanted objects transform into striking compositions. Chen’s work reminds us of our collective responsibility to preserve our planet, and our own ability to undergo renewals and contribute to a more resilient, harmonious world.
