HOBBY HOUSE
Hobby House – where art meets self-indulgence, subversion meets humor, and creativity meets absurdity. With ceramics, sterling silver, a little photography and a lot of gemstones Hobby House presents objects that are meticulously crafted for no good reason other than looking fabulous. Hobby House contemplates the places and practices of art making with humor, irony, and a little wit.
Jenn Ryann Miller explores materiality and aesthetics through sculpture and painting. With a background in functional ceramics, her work subverts tradition and process through the experimentation with oblique materials and forms. Miller has been part of numerous solo and group exhibitions in Florida and the United States. Originally from Connecticut, she received a BFA from the University of Connecticut and MFA from the University of South Florida. Miller currently teaches ceramics at the University of South Florida.
WHAT DID WE USE TO SAY?
What Did We Use To Say? Trying to remember things from the past from distorted and fragmented memories. Is that really how it happened? With intention, the mind has the ability to erase just as easily as it does create. The mind decides what stays and what gets purged for the new. Are you in control? Or is the subconscious doing as it pleases? In this work, I explore deconstruction, recomposition, and sampling, and their impact on memory and perception.

Over the last 10 years, Myers has participated in numerous exhibitions at Tempus Projects, including the T-shirt shows, Mix Tape Show, Return to Sender, and an offsite window installation as part of a partnership with Downtown Tampa and more. In 2020, Myers partnered with his brother, Jeremy Myers on a virtual exhibit with Tempus Projects titled, “One Day of Perfect”.

LOOK WHO DECIDED TO STOP BY
Drift, an independent curators space presented by Tempus Projects, is pleased to announce the opening of ‘Look Who Decided to Stop By’ a collaborative body of work that plays with the constant paradoxes between symbolism and function of objects in the home. Kaylin Price and Erin Titus exaggerate the design of objects to effectively connect elements, patterns, and materials to the emotional content the object has to the individual. Collected and design elements found in home decoration are a vehicle to question if objects contain inherent qualities or if their meanings are acquired by constant repetition through familiarity and convention.
TEN DAYS IN BODRUM
Andrés Ramírez
Ten Days in Bodrum explores a seaside town on the Aegean coast of Turkey. A place steeped in nearly four millennia of history, Bodrum was the home of the Dorian Greeks, the Persians, the empire of Alexander the Great, the crusading Knights of Saint John, and the Ottoman Turks. In the 21st century, Bodrum serves as one of the main vacation hubs for city dwelling Turks in the summer, as it has shifted from a port hub for maritime empires to the crown jewel of the Turkish Riviera. Ten Days in Bodrum takes you through the side streets and solitude of a town that has boomed throughout the last 100 years of the Turkish Republic.
