About the work
This exhibition represents a selection of the work completed during a 2025/26 sabbatical from my position teaching ceramics at the MSU School of Art. In addition to conducting research at important European centers of porcelain production, including Sèvres in France, and Meissen in Germany, I spent time engaged with building “The ReCollection”, an expansive project to recast my childhood toy collection in porcelain.
In the 1980’s, television advertising was deregulated to allow marketing directly to children, resulting in a wave of new cartoons and a ‘golden era’ of action-figures that corresponded with my upbringing. (He-Man, WWF, Star Wars and many more) I’m curious how this phenomenon affected my generation, and I have been exploring these consequences in my studio. By remaking the hyper-masculine and often violent characters in a delicate, precious material such as porcelain I want to alter and complicate the viewer’s interpretation of the subject.
Recently, the project has expanded to include remixing 18th Century decorative arts objects with action-figures resulting in a peculiar fictional souvenir. I have become particularly interested in connections to historical European traditions of porcelain figurines; how they functioned in culture and what they represented. The action-figure/figurine mashup contains several creative strategies and approaches common within contemporary visual art, including ideas of copying, appropriation, recombination and recontextualization in order to arrive at something new. This series also investigates notions of memory and nostalgia, branding, collector culture, and consumerism.

Erratic Journey
BY LEAH CUPINO

Erratic Journey
Leah Cupino
Weaver Room Gallery, and Galleria Hall Popup Gallery
Cupino’s Erratic Journey follows the unbelievable miles-long migration of boulders torn from mountainsides by glacial migration during our home planet’s transition into a new age.
In moving picture, silk, fibers, and paint, she calls us to commemorate loss, embrace greater timelines of transformation, and encourages us to celebrate the immortality of our shared spirit.
Erratic /Ə’radik/
1. noun: a rock that travels great distances over time, by glacier or other natural forces
2. adj; unpredictable
3. root Latin: errāre: to wander
In paintings and film, I join themes of displacement with transformation and remain curious about what it means to simply be a part of this earth.
The materials and color I use in my work ask us to evaluate the worn-down trails of accepted facts to a deeper evaluation of purpose. I embrace with giddiness the idea that defied expectations can be a gift to all.

Unmistakably Western

Unmistakably Western

Lobby Gallery
Unmistakably Western is a show about larger-than-life cowgirls, all hat, boots, style, and attitude. I start with my studio photographs, then use paint to push the images even further. In select works, I incorporate my Montana street photographs into the background, placing cowboys and hippies side by side on the same piece of art. It’s unmistakably Western, but it's far from traditional.
