Herron House is proud to present Field Notes, opening June 7th, 2025, featuring the work of painter Georgia Beaumont and ceramicist Katherine Adams.
Drawn from time spent in the California Mojave Desert, Field Notes brings together London-based painter Georgia Beaumont and Los Angeles-based ceramicist Katherine Adams—two artists attuned to the quiet, symbolic language of nature and memory.
Georgia’s newest paintings were created during her residency in Yucca Valley at The Graham Residence. The works emerged from what she calls “a time of working largely in solitude in a remote landscape,” where nature became both mirror and companion. Her free-sweeping florals and sigil-like symbols stretch across wood panels like lines of life: compositions rooted in instinct and observation, mapping a space where English wildflowers, childhood memories, and desert light co-exist. Time dilates. Color hums. Meaning unfolds slowly—through mirrored stems and imagined botanicals that seem to recall something just out of reach.
In dialogue, Katherine Adams’ sculptural ceramics evoke a tactile language of their own. Slipping between artifact and object, her forms hover between function and ornament, reorganizing flora from both desert and childhood into hybrid objects—whimsical, reverent, and deeply felt. Her richly layered surfaces bear the imprint of touch and time, inviting us to consider how meaning accumulates through personal ritual.
Together, the works in Field Notes are a study in presence: how we attune ourselves to the environments we move through, and how those places leave their trace. The exhibition invites us into a landscape of shared sensibility—where gesture becomes memory, and material becomes language.
