Lauren Cline’s figurative paintings approach the home as a psychological and emotional terrain. Working through a process informed by Carl Jung, she draws from her own experience of motherhood to construct scenes that are at once intimate and quietly surreal. Bedrooms and domestic interiors become sites where care, repetition, and identity unfold in complex ways. Based in Queens and currently pursuing her MFA at Hunter College, Cline situates her practice within the lived realities of contemporary family life, foregrounding the often-overlooked labor and psychological depth of the domestic sphere.

Pat Lay’s work introduces a complementary perspective shaped by decades of artistic practice. A veteran of the New York art scene, she has been active since 1968, with formative years in SoHo and a long-standing studio in Jersey City. Her sculptures—combining fired clay, computer parts, and readymade elements—form hybrid, post-human bodies that reflect the deep integration of technology into human experience. Her collages, derived from scanned circuit boards, translate digital systems into tactile visual language. Educated at Pratt Institute and Rochester Institute of Technology, and a former professor at Montclair State University, Lay brings an expansive exhibition history, including presentations at the Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial and international venues such as the Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter.
