Come visit Girls’ Club gallery hours Friday, May 16 or May 30, and meet the artist! Jen Clay’s solo exhibit Blasted Belonging is on view now thru July. Visit Fridays, 1-5pm, or other times by appointment. Clay’s work blends sci-fi horror with soft textiles, embedding hidden, hand-sewn messages that oscillate between foreboding and intimate. Blasted Belonging invites visitors to explore a world of quiet dread and strange beauty, making them active participants in the story. Designed to be sensory-inclusive, Blasted Belonging features tactile elements and a soundscape welcoming neurodiverse and disabled communities, ensuring an accessible experience. With Blasted Belonging, Clay presents a quilted alien forest sewn from hand-dyed, thrifted bed linens. Movable landscape elements and a symbolic ‘well’ allow visitors to shape the scene as if uncovering an unfolding mystery. A projected storm animation and an atmospheric soundscape heighten the eerie yet immersive experience, blurring the line between observer and protagonist. @jenclay @art.seen.365 @browardarts @oolitearts @mccollcenter @city_state_enterprises @interactive_initiative @emersondorsch @miaminewtimes (fb)
