Veronica Ortuño: All Flowers in Time Bend Toward the Sun
All Flowers in Time Bend Towards the Sun
This exhibition is comprised of 10 ceramic paintings based on self-portraits of my mother and
tías (aunts), translated through personal memory rather than direct likeness. The paintings
prioritize essence over realism. Each piece reflects their spirit and the way they live inside me.
They speak to the tenderness and resilience women carry at once.
The series was created during an intense period of grief following the passing of my
grandmother, the matriarch of our family, last year. Her absence unmoored our family and
reshaped our constellation. Rather than centering on loss, the work considers continuation, the
inheritance that moves quietly across generations.
The installation is anchored by a central sculpture representing the matriarchal core — my
grandmother and the ancestors before her: the source, the origin point, and grounding force. The
surrounding paintings radiate outward, forming a constellation that extends like a web or root
system. Lineage is presented as something active and expanding.
Ceramic is both delicate and enduring. It holds water and earth. It holds air and fire. It records
touch. Several works are imprinted with my grandmother’s hand-embroidered textiles,
transferring her labor directly into the clay. In this context, it becomes a vessel for remembrance,
something fragile yet permanent, much like lineage itself.
Alongside the paintings, I developed a custom incense for the exhibition. The scent serves as an
atmospheric extension of the work, designed to evoke presence. Smell is one of the most
immediate pathways to recollecting our history; it collapses time. The incense acts as an offering,
a quiet bridge between past and present, inviting viewers into an intimate space of reflection.
The exhibition becomes both altar and archive — a study of matriarchy and ancestral continuity.
Chris Kysor - 'Texoma Gothic' Show Opening!
Chris Kysor is most widely known for his iconic painting "American Water" featured as the cover art for the Silver Jews 1998 album by the same name. Kysor creates contemporary landscape paintings that lean toward the abstract. He refers to his work as "Super Graphic Color Field Painting"- referencing the hard edge and color field painters of the 1950's-70's. Kysor has shown throughout the US, including solo and group shows in New York, Boston, LA, Houston, and Dallas.
Now he brings a crepuscular new vision to Taylor, Texas. He calls it...

About Face: Group Art Exhibition
About Face:
A Group Exhibition at Every Time Institute
What is the connection between the self we present to the world and the person we feel we truly are? Is there any such thing as a “true” self? How does our outward presentation reveal or obfuscate this conception? What does our appearance communicate about the culture we live in? In short: what, if anything, can we learn from looking at a person’s face?
‘About Face’ is a group exhibition opening June 5th at Every Time Institute featuring works from:
Rosalie Anderson
Betsy Kay Askew
Shawn Crawford
Lee Dockery
Allison Eve
Nicolas Nadeau
Sari Shryack
Cynthia Young
