The work of Juliellen Byrne is presented in a collaborative exhibition between the Southern Ohio Museum and the Appleton Gallery at Shawnee State University.
The depth of this artist’s work is explored in these dual exhibits, each offering a distinct perspective on the human condition, journey and migration, through ceramic sculptures and drawings.
“Mother Tongue” is defined as, “One’s Native Language”, but is also defined as “A language from which another language derives.”
The ceramic work of Juliellen Byrne is a language of humans and animals narrating stories about the human condition as they travel, meet, converse, and experience emotions.
