“Home Sweet Home” Opening Reception at the Dishman

The Dishman Art Museum at Lamar University will host an opening reception for “Home Sweet Home: Works by Jasmyne Graybill" from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20.

“Home Sweet Home” features sculptures by San Antonio artist Graybill that borrow from the familiar forms of fungus, lichen and mold to reflect the intrinsic beauty of natural growth and decay. Graybill invents and sculpts fictional organisms that graft onto domestic objects, challenging notions of synthetic and organic, real and imagined. These works show that through the passage of time, man-made objects may be overtaken by nature. The exhibition will run through Feb. 23. Light refreshments will be served at the reception.

Admission and parking are free. The Dishman Art Museum is located at 1030 East Lavaca, Beaumont, Texas. Call (409) 880-8959 for more information or visit lamar.edu/dishman.
