Objets d’Amuse Elevate the everyday. This exhibition explores the beauty of the mundane items we often overlook, reimagined as extraordinary treasures. Ordinary Objects exhibits works that demonstrate the "unexpected transmutation" of ordinary objects into fine art through masterful technique, precious materials, or unique perspective.

Work from Aaron Wilder's Social Boundaries project is included in the exhibition. Social Boundaries is an ongoing photography project investigating physical barriers, such as bars on doors and windows. Taken on walks along neighborhood boundaries, these photographs are portraits of physical obstructions on what were designed as portals. While walking, Wilder reflects upon the stimuli of these metal bars. These structures are more than perceived visually. They directly disrupt passage and also represent interpersonal and intrapersonal blockages. These kinds of structures impact the movement of many people daily, some subtly, some profoundly. Each individual image is a portrait of a state of mind in the artist and in the viewer.
