About the Exhibition

Harvey Preston Gallery, in collaboration with Aspen Collective, is pleased to present a two-person exhibition featuring works by Roaring Fork Valley artists Savanna LaBauve and Lindsey Yeager. At first glance, these ceramic and painted works may appear dissimilar; however, in this debut exhibition together, LaBauve and Yeager explore common concepts of finding one’s place within the world, how the choices we make set us on a path, and searching for a way back to one’s self through the mess of it all.

The title of the show, Into the Fold, developed naturally in conversation between the artists while getting to know one another and each other’s work. It became apparent there is a relationship between Yeager’s compositions of painted flora and fauna and LaBauve’s void-like objects in shape and form. Both echo modularity, the collection and arrangement of items, and the idea of this “other place.” While Yeager’s paintings feel like framed niches and folded reflections, LaBauve’s ceramic objects frame and embrace the negative space, creating voids and portals. Both celebrate the space between and understand that sometimes the only path is through – or, in this case, Into the Fold.

This is the inaugural Guest Curated exhibition at Aspen Collective and the first of two scheduled exhibitions curated by Sam Harvey of Harvey Preston Gallery. Into the Fold will be on display from October 25th through November 18th, with an opening reception on Friday, October 25th, from 6 to 9 pm. The Aspen Collective gallery space, located at 213 S Mill St, Aspen, CO within the historic Wheeler Opera House, will be open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 11 am to 6 pm.

About the Artists

SAVANNA LaBAUVE

Savanna LaBauve (b.1994) is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and detail seeker currently focused on creating objects with clay. She received her BFA in Studio Arts with concentrations in ceramics and painting/drawing from Louisiana State University in 2017. After completing a two-year ceramic residency program in 2019, Savanna has worked for various artists and art organizations in the Roaring Fork Valley and continues to pursue opportunities that sustain the creative vitality of her beloved town, Carbondale, CO. Savanna was one of six honored recipients for the 2023-2024 Aspen Art Museum Fellowship. Her studio currently resides at Studio for Arts & Works, an artist workspace with 25+ makers of various mediums. This studio space is where she continues to investigate the power of multiples, develop a language of mark-making, and explore subtle variations of a limited color palette.

LINDSEY YEAGER

Fueled by a need to find closure in a deteriorating world, Wisconsin-born Colorado transplant Lindsey Yeager paints and illustrates connections between society and nature, between human and animal, translating and reframing human contexts into fearful, raw, and feral allegories. Lindsey received BFAs in New Studio Practice and Illustration from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2021 and she went on to win two Society of Illustrators awards and participate in the 2021-22 cohort of Plum Blossom Initiative’s Bridge Work residency. Her work has been shown at Var Gallery, Mana Contemporary, Soft Times Gallery, Museum of Wisconsin Art, and Society of Illustrators, among others. Lindsey is represented by Var Gallery in Milwaukee, WI and works as the Studio Coordinator of Painting, Drawing, & Printmaking at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, CO.
