Iron and Indigo

Works by: Esteban Cabeza de Baca | Julia Clift | Courtney Dudley | Ellie Irons | Lydia Kern | Laini Nemett | Kate Stewart | Nichole van Beek | Allie E.S. Wist

June 13 - July 11, 2026 at Utopia (Kingston, NY)

Co-curated with Laini Nemett, this exhibition features nine contemporary artists using natural pigments, dyes, and other land-based media — from corn cobs to cochineal ink. Leveraging their materials to evoke specific regions and histories, resist extractive industry, and grapple with the Anthropocene, these artists explore the creative possibilities offered by eco-conscious methods and what lies beyond the art supply store.
