A Two-Woman Show by Jamie Bauza and Nicole Asares
Even before the sun wakes, a pair of hands has already begun shaping the day. A Hundred and One Before Sunrise reflects on the quiet, persistent labor of women—work that often unfolds before it is noticed, named, or applauded. The exhibition brings together ceramic sculptures by Jamie Bauza and textured, meditative canvases by Nicole Asares to explore the evolving roles of women within the community: as caretakers, creators, thinkers, and anchors of everyday life.
Jamie Bauza’s ceramic works appear as intimate, playful figures and sets—each one a tribute to the many roles women inhabit and shed across contexts. Drawing from lived relationships and self-reflection, Bauza resists the idea of a singular, fixed purpose. Instead, her sculptures celebrate multiplicity: friends, caregivers, companions, colleagues, overthinkers, and joy-seekers coexisting within one body, one life. These characters suggest that identity is fluid, situational, and deeply relational.
