Bradley Parsons: Treasure Trove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Chaos Contemporary Craft, Columbus, Ohio, USA
7 August-18 September 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In his unique practice, Parsons pulls from his vast library of damaged picture books and salvaged clay detritus gleaned from the beaches of New York City. Dense layers of meticulously hand-cut paper media or expertly reclaimed and refinished ceramic ephemera create new scenes, narratives, and objects. Playful, humorous, and unlikely narratives emerge from the fragments as they re-relate and respond to each layer of found material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A whimsical feast for the eyes, no theme is untouchable for Parsons. The nostalgic motifs and materials highlight the innocence of childhood, the idolization of memory, and the absurdity of traditional societal expectations. Parsons\u2019s drive to organize the chaos and find beauty in the wasteland provides the viewer with an opportunity to discover, connect, and be transported into a wild, lush new world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
