Traces is a collection of intimate drawings, ceramics, and metalwork using symbols and storytelling to echo portraits – of self, of place, of friends, and psychological spaces – like a flashlight into another realm. Entangling the self with the other, tracing memories, and merging experiences.

Amy Golden is an artist, craftsperson, and educator creating primarily ceramic sculpture, functional ceramic objects, and ceramic jewelry. Since 2021, she has taught Clay Club, a group hand-building course for adults, out of her private studio. She holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and a BA from the University of North Texas. Amy grew up in the Ozarks in northwest Arkansas and has spent time living in Denton, Texas, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles. She currently lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland with her two cats, Quartzite and Tourmaline, and a hive of about 60,000 bees.

Francis Dooley is a maker and mender, born in North Jersey and currently living in Baltimore, Maryland. Exploring themes of lost memory, Dooley’s work primarily incorporates graphite drawing and metalwork. They reside in the Station North area of Baltimore City with their big cat named Totoro. Francis enjoys finding lost things and wishes to work at a public library or a metal fabrication shop while continuing their artistic practice.

Hannah Erwin is a Baltimore-based artist whose drawings trace the overlap between place, memory, and transformation. Working in graphite and colored pencil, she reimagines familiar architecture and everyday settings as dreamlike spaces charged with feeling, moments when the familiar becomes strange again. Her images often move between clarity and distortion, turning observation into myth and fragments into story. Each drawing moves between the seen and the imagined, tracing how memory transforms what we touch, keep, and lose. Her work has been shown in regional and international exhibitions and residencies, and reflect an ongoing interest in how the ordinary becomes enchanted through observation and time.

Jason Herr (b. 1977 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania) graduated with a BFA from the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design in 2016. His work has been part of numerous exhibitions in US and Europe. Some of his recent exhibitions included A Solitary Loop, Pennsylvania College of Art and Design, Pennsylvania (2023, solo); Snakes in the Grass, Newchild, Antwerp (2023); Idle Times: Pop Disorder, Current Space, Baltimore (2023); Le Dessin, Halle Saint Pierre, Paris (2022); among others. He has contributed illustration work for Mondo Zero press, Kus! comics, Lifted Brow magazine, and Future
Islands. The artist lives and works in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
