The Kolman & Reeb Gallery is pleased to present its first Project Space Grant exhibition in 2026, Atlas: Western Anthology, by Liz Miller. This show explores themes hidden in the items we leave behind and the stories they tell through wear, use, and abandonment.

The works in this exhibition began as objects Liz found during road trips—items left behind along roadsides, in ditches, or in overlooked places. Each object shows signs of wear and use, carrying a history of its origins. Back in the studio, Liz carefully transforms these materials through slow, repetitive weaving, wrapping them with cord and fiber to give them new form and purpose.

Through this hands-on process, everyday materials connected to consumer culture are reshaped into sculptural works that reflect memory, travel, and place. Color and texture play a central role, helping guide each piece toward renewal rather than nostalgia. The result is a body of work that asks viewers to slow down and take a closer look at objects often ignored or discarded—and to consider the stories they still hold.
