Nothing lasts forever. Change is continual, though not always consistent; it can be subtle or dramatic, microscopic or vast, fleeting or evolving. Materials, bodies, perceptions, emotions, relationships, culture, and nature are always in flux: weathering, eroding, decaying, growing, fading, forming, cycling.

This exhibition is a collaborative, site-responsive endeavor. It was developed through dialogue between Laurin Aman’s Bio-Prototyping students and Paige L. Morris’ Mold-Making Technology students. The works build on research and experimentation, using a range of materials and techniques. The exhibition considers how individual works relate to one another and to the atrium space as a whole, merging making with curatorial practices. Participants are invited to investigate impermanence—conceptually, materially, and experientially—drawing on mold-making processes, material life cycles, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

This exhibition challenges us to look beyond the making of things, prompting reflection on how objects, spaces, and materials exist, transform, and are experienced over time. It asks us to reconsider the legacy of permanence in architectural and material practices—where rigid structures and overlooked afterlives often contribute to environmental harm. By proposing a shift to methods that embrace impermanence, the exhibition urges us to reimagine our relationship to change as a step toward environmental sustainability.

The exhibition is open April 21 – April 25.

Opening Reception on Friday, April 24, 5-8 p.m.
