Repost from the Currier Museum of Art:

Join us this THURSDAY for Italian Inspirations - a free program celebrating the ongoing exhibition, Distant Conversations: Ella Walker and Betty Woodman, on view now through October 22.

Katarina Jerinic, Collections Curator at The Woodman Family Foundation, will offer deeper insight into how Betty Woodman’s time in Italy influenced her singular approach to ceramic sculpture, paired with a presentation from the Currier’s Chief Curator Lorenzo Fusi highlighting the influence of Italian fresco on Ella Walker’s work.

As a special addition to the evening, there will be a rare opportunity to see a small number of Ella Walker’s works in reverse, illuminating her unique working process of incorporating drawings and text on the verso.
