In Bless Your Heart, Wolf and Rouse challenge viewers to reconsider the value we assign to the material world, transforming ordinary materials into powerful expressions of longing, loss, and self-reflection. Melissa Wolf, a Mexican-American artist, draws on her Hispanic heritage to create mixed-media sculptures that question the functionality and meaning of everyday objects. Riley Rouse, a Kansas City-based sculptor, explores emotional connections with objects through ceramics, satire, and scale.
