Jodi Stuart - Future Fabulist Solo Exhibition
Exhibition Post Card, 'System Virtue' 2024
What: Solo exhibition
Where: Littleton Museum — 6028 S Gallup St, Littleton, CO, 80120
When: On display through August 18, 2024
About the exhibition: In Future Fabulist, Jodi Stuart explores the aesthetic of the digital technologies that saturate our lives, in relation to tactile and sensory experience. Her woven sculptural forms are made using the plastic filaments intended for 3D-printers. Through her materials and processes, Stuart replaces the computer with the human hand subverting the materials of high-tech culture in a nostalgic gesture towards the hand made.
Stuart’s Future Fabulist exhibition consists of anamorphous, quirky and vaguely biological forms created by hand using a 3D-pen and plastic filaments. These are combined with colorful and pixelated background imagery, as well as super-synthetic materials such as acrylic rods and industrial foams. These works allude to craft traditions including weaving, knitting, and basket making; while hinting at virtual space, neural networks, cloud computing, and biomimicry.
About the artist: Jodi Stuart was born in New Zealand, where she attained a Bachelor of Visual Arts from Manukau Institute of Technology, Auckland, and an MFA from Auckland University. Stuart currently lives, works, and teaches in Denver.
Now based at TANK Studios, Stuart has previously been an artist in residence at RINO Art Park, part of Redline Denver’s Satellite Program. As well as exhibiting in her home country of New Zealand, Stuart has exhibited in California, Colorado, Michigan, Maryland, Texas, and Washington.

What: Live group performance
Where: Fountain Creek Nature Center - 320 Peppergrass Ln, Fountain, CO, 80817
When: July 19 & July 20, 2024, 8pm MST
About the exhibition: Many people grew up in areas with fireflies (or lightning bugs) and have fond childhood memories. But those of us who grew up in Colorado never knew that there were fireflies in our midst at all, as their populations had dwindled. Firefly Music is a project that uses motion-sensing code and live musicians to bring a live webcast of music created in collaboration with the fireflies so people can experience them without overrunning their habitats.
Thanks to a grant from Arts in Society, Firefly Music aims to elevate the efforts of area scientists in gathering data by encouraging citizen scientists to report sightings and showing the importance of Dark Skies initiatives to preserving the wonders of our natural environment.
About the artist: Lauri Lynnxe Murphy is a bio artist, sculptor, curator and writer living in Denver, Colorado. She received her MFA from The Ohio State University on University Fellowship in 2012. She has spent her life building community and DIY gallery spaces and advocating for artists alongside her own robust studio practice.
Her work is research-driven and science-based, and focuses on insect extinction, mutation, climate change and biophilia. Much of her work is made by collaborating with endangered species and the systems they employ, such as building sculptures with bees or making drawings with snails.

Reaching towards infinity, mirror-based toys such as kaleidoscopes simultaneously expand our perceptions and elicit a sense of wonder. Using a combination of scanned, fresh, pressed, collaged and photographed flowers, Roscina uses reflective tools to deconstruct floral arrangements and reassemble them into new moving image forms.
About the artist: Eileen Roscina Richardson is an artist, chef and naturalist from Denver, Colorado who works in a wide variety of mediums. Eileen is an experimental filmmaker with a BFA from Emerson College in Boston, MA a botanical illustrator, trained at the School of Botanical Art and Illustration in Denver, CO, and a Natural Food Chef, trained at Nutritional Therapy Institute.
Through biomimicry and the study of biophilia, her work examines and seeks to raise questions about human’s spiritual and social (dis)connection with nature.
