Each of the six participating artists--Laura Ellen Bacon (b. 1976), Aboubakar Fofana (b. 1967), Hugh Hayden (b. 1983), Milena Naef (b. 1990), Javier Senosiain (b. 1948), and Yō Akiyama (b. 1953)--exemplifies the way that artisanal traditions can be reinvented, generating contemporary form and meaning. Their works employ a range of materials, including clay, willow, mosaic, stone, wood, and indigo dyeing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This handsome volume documents the exhibition, providing an in-depth look into the stories of the artworks' creation. Four of the book's essays are reflective texts on the Clark's campus at different times of day: morning, afternoon, evening, and night, enlivened with beautiful photography of each object in the exhibition at these same times of day. Additionally, the book explores larger conversations around craft and making. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Clark Art Institute \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eClark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (June 28, 2025-October 12, 2026)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Adamson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300284160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300284164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clark Art Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Glenn Adamson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47243932991743,"sku":"9780300284164","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e0de5a8-97ce-4ca0-95b9-eebc93b56502.jpg?v=1758134523","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/groundwork-2025-glenn-adamson-9780300284164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
