Marian Art Gallery

Leslie Iwai
At the Still Point
August 17 –  October 9, 2026

Drawing its title from T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, this exhibition gathers more than two decades of work by Wisconsin-based installation artist and sculptor Leslie Iwai, whose practice moves between rigorous structure and material intuition. Birds, rabbits, and cast forms recur throughout, each echoing concepts Iwai handles as active and ephemeral collaborators as she traces themes of hidden vitality, grief, and a deliberate slowness amidst a fast-moving world. Touch plays a central role, inviting visitors to slow down and remain with the work rather than pass through.

Medium: Performance Installation, parachutes, plaster, rose petals

Lecture/Reception: September 23rd / Lecture 5:00- 5:50 in Helfaer Hall. Reception to follow 6-7:30 PM in the gallery.

Receptions are always free and open to the public.
