Themes of health, healing, and spirituality crystallize with a survey of current enamel holdings in the Metal Museum’s permanent collection. The exhibition features a series of recent acquisitions, in addition to examples long familiar to the Metal Museum collection and community. Featured are Martha Banyas’ twelve panel “Valley and Shadow” series, which chronicled the artist’s journey through cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery using southeast Asian religious symbolism. Yet unexhibited copper engravings from Dorothy Sturm’s background in medical illustration give context to her biomorphic abstract forms in her later enameled panels. In addition, newly acquired works by artists such as Michelle Startzman, Andrew Kuebeck, and Hosanna Rubio explore topics of illness, healing, and religious beliefs.
