On Ceramics, Steel And Sound: Heavy Heavy Heavy by Emily No Good

Presented by Future Front, Heavy Heavy Heavy is a solo show from Austin-based multidisciplinary artist Emily No Good.

Through hand built ceramic sculptures, welded steel structures, soundscapes, and songs, Emily explores the weight of modern humanity through both playful and dark forms. These pieces offer a reflection of globalization, societal trajectory and everyday life.

Heavy Heavy Heavy also marks the first of a new series in solo shows at Future Front. These shows will reflect the journey of Austin-based multidisciplinary artists like Emily No Goodβ€”weaving long, collaborative and iterative relationships through organizations like Future Front and the city’s local culture.
