SUMMARY:ITERATIONS - Rhythm & Reason
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, October 9 from 5-7PMON VIEW: October 10\, 2025 – January 31\, 2026\n\n\n\nIn ITERATIONS: Rhythm & Reason\, artists Peter Christian Johnson\, Janice Lessman-Moss\, and Brinsley Tyrrell investigate rhythms of continuity and transformation through weaving\, ceramics\, and sculpture. Each work registers repetition\, labor\, and change: from the measured cadence of woven threads to porcelain forms poised between balance and collapse\, to tactile sculptures shaped by the land itself. Seen together\, the works invite us to understand making as both an archive of time and a practice in continual motion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeter Christian Johnson\n\n\n\nPeter Christian Johnson is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Kent State University after spending 11 years at Eastern Oregon University. He earned his MFA from Penn State University and a BS in Environmental Science at Wheaton College. Peter has been a resident artist and visiting lecturer at the Alberta College of Art and Design\, Australian National University\, The Archie Bray Foundation\, the LH Project\, and the Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts. His work has been exhibited in Canada\, Australia\, and throughout the United States.His work explores the tension between acts of labor and collapse\, between precision and failure. It is a meditation on entropy that uses architecture as a foil to examine the dichotomy of beauty and loss. He is interested in transformation\, which is expressed in both destruction and growth. Much of his work involves creating complex porcelain structures that are encouraged to warp or collapse in the strain of the firing. They expose the relationship between soft and hard\, the fluidity of a membrane\, and the moment of intersection between these contrasting elements. Ultimately\, they are a metaphor for the human condition\, paradoxically both broken and at times beautiful. \n\n\n\npeterchristianjohnson.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanice Lessman-Moss\n\n\n\nJanice Lessman-Moss maintains a weaving studio in her home in Kent\, Ohio\, USA where she is Emeritus Professor at Kent State University. She was awarded a United States Artists Fellowship in 2019\, the Cleveland Arts Prize Lifetime Achievement Award\, the Governor’s Award for the Arts in Ohio\, an Arts Midwest/National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Crafts\, and nine Individual Artist Fellowships from the Ohio Arts Council throughout her career. Her work been presented throughout the United States and internationally\, including a recent solo exhibition at the Kent State University Museum.In her art\, she embraces the unique vocabulary of digital design and its relation to the binary functioning of threads on the loom. Shiny metal wire is integrated into the woven compositions to enhance the richness of textural contrasts and engage the viewer in more active discovery. Traversing the space in front of the weavings reveals a play of light\, reflection\, and shadow within its low relief sculptural surface. She works with abstract systems in networks of interlocking shapes to create a dynamic topography expressive of her interest in Random Walk theory and the actual practice of walking; rhythmic movement all rooted in a matrix of circles and squares.janicelessman-moss.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrinsley Tyrrell\n\n\n\nBrinsley Tyrrell is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans drawing\, sculpture\, architectural design\, metalwork\, and large-scale public commissions. Educated at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts\, University of London\, he holds an Intermediate Degree in Fine Arts and a National Diploma in Design\, with a focus on sculpture and terracotta. Tyrrell is known for monumental public artworks\, including Behind the Brain Plaza at Kent State University—a 250-foot retaining wall featuring over 3\,000 life-sized cast concrete books and five sandstone carvings\, including The Brain. His work has earned the Cleveland Arts Prize for Lifetime Achievement\, the Cleveland Museum of Art’s May Show Sculpture Award\, and the Governor’s Award for the Arts in Ohio. Internationally\, he represented England at Artists ’77\, a United Nations-organized exhibition featuring two artists from each of 62 countries. “I think of myself as a sculptor. But over the years I have worked in many different materials\, and the scale of my sculptures have varied from tabletop works to large commissioned public sculptures and environments whose context is relocated to their location and weavings. I am inspired by nature. The landscape I live in and my feelings and memories of that ever-changing landscape.” artistbrinsleytyrrell.net

SUMMARY:Illuminated Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:OPENING RECEPTION: THURSDAY\, FEBRUARY 12 | 5 – 7PM\n\n\n\nIlluminated Fundamentals centers on the essential elements that support a meaningful\, connected life—purpose\, autonomy\, connection\, self-acceptance\, play\, and strong support networks. These fundamentals shape how we understand ourselves\, relate to others\, and navigate the world.  \n\n\n\nThrough immersive\, visual\, and interactive experiences\, the exhibit explores ideas that are often difficult to articulate. By engaging with nature\, touching sand\, activating consciousness through time-travel experiences\, connecting with community\, and allowing memory and emotion to surface\, visitors encounter these essentials in embodied\, sensory ways.  \n\n\n\nThe work calls on nature for guidance and reflection. It asks viewers to pause\, slow down\, and recognize themselves as part of a larger whole—an essential element within a shared system. This is an invitation to be present\, to reflect\, and to engage curiosity.  \n\n\n\nWhen visiting Peg’s Foundation & Gallery\, we invite you to experience something different—to learn\, to reflect\, and to carry empathy beyond the gallery walls. You may discover a new insight\, recall a meaningful memory\, or recognize your own role in supporting others.  \n\n\n\nIlluminated Fundamentals is a reminder that introspection\, connection\, and play are not luxuries\, but necessities.  \n\n\n\nKnow thyself.  \n\n\n\nParticipating Artists: \n\n\n\n\nMeryl Engler\n\n\n\nTimothy (C-Rex) Johnson in collaboration with team: Eric (Mr. FUN) Gilliom\, Andrew (Android) Jones\, June (noosens) Parfait\, & Jonathan (Cosmic Cowboy) Yudis.\n\n\n\nMicah Kraus\n\n\n\nKeith Lemley\n\n\n\nSherry Simms\n\n\n\nThe Cable Family Collection

SUMMARY:Texture & Repetition: Stencils are OK
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Micah Kraus for a hands-on workshop exploring texture\, repetition\, and layering through stencil-based mark making. \n\n\n\nApproaching creativity through the lens of a printmaker\, Kraus’s practice centers on process\, iteration\, and experimentation—often combining analog and digital tools while allowing words\, phrases\, and visual elements to evolve through repetition and inversion. \n\n\n\nDuring this session\, Kraus will combine a process demonstration with a conversation about the artwork currently on view at Peg’s Gallery. Participants will experiment with stencils created by the artist using a variety of mark-making techniques\, exploring the possibilities of texture\, repetition\, and layered imagery. \n\n\n\nAs the workshop unfolds\, Kraus will share insights into his creative process and discuss the work on view\, inviting questions and conversation throughout. This playful and exploratory experience highlights the importance of observation and reaction as ideas develop\, offering participants a chance to see how artistic process and visual expression connect. \n\n\n\nAll events are free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nNo registration necessary.

SUMMARY:April Showers: Printing Peonies with Meryl Engler
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate spring with a hands-on introduction to woodcut printmaking.\n\n\n\nUsing pre-carved floral woodblocks\, participants will learn the basics of inking and hand-printing without a press\, then create their own vibrant flower prints to take home. Led by artist Meryl Engler\, the workshop includes a brief overview of the carving process and guidance throughout printing. Participants will work with water-based inks and leave with a small collection of their own handmade prints. \n\n\n\nMeryl Engler is a printmaker known for her colorful woodcut prints\, often using pattern and repetition. She is inspired by hidden landscapes in our environment and the relationships we form to them and to each other. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is currently on view at Peg’s Gallery in Illuminated Fundamentals. \n\n\n\nAll events are free and open to the public.No registration necessary.
