ESPRIT DE FRANCE Exhibition and workshop
Western Wyoming Community College Gallery OCT 12 - NOV 16
Western Wyoming Community College will be exhibiting my French Girls mixed media series in a two-woman show with collage artist, Lili Francuz.
Accompanying the show, I will be teaching a 3-day intensive workshop on collage technique. Collage is one of the most democratic of mediums, in that it requires at its very basic, a pair of scissors, glue and found scraps of paper. Picasso and Braque were the first artists to use pre-existing materials to create now-iconic works. Artists today have elevated collage to new heights.

FINALIST: CROSS MACKENZIE HOLIDAY CLAY COMPETITION
Finalists on display at District Clay Center OCTOBER 14, 3-5 PM
It's always a good feeling to be able to help the community in my capacity as an artist while at the same time advancing my career. In this case, I also have the honor of being selected and recognized by one of the leading national galleries known for showcasing ceramic art.
My sculptures were inspired by my readings and translated from page to clay. The interweaving of figurative human elements and representatives from the natural world may appear whimsical at first glance. Upon closer inspection however, one can discern an underlying darker narrative. They are the antithesis of the smooth and shiny figurine tradition.

MILGROM ARTICLE ON MORANDI/DE WAAL PUBLISHED
Ceramics Monthly Magazine, June Quarterly edition 2018
I was fortunate enough to experience a stunning exhibition at Stockholm's Artipelag Museum last year: 'Morandi/Edmund de Waal'. Everything about this exhibition was designed to inspire stillness, encourage contemplation, and amplify the sounds of silence. To experience the Morandi/Edmund de Waal exhibition was to divorce oneself from the chaos of the modern world.
My featured review of this exhibition has been published in Ceramics Monthly, the leading magazine on the ceramic arts. You can read the article here.

CERAMICS ART AND PERCEPTION

My article, I Love a Sunburnt Country, reviews a sprawling, groundbreaking exhibition of ceramic work and paintings by the Boyds of Murrumbeena, a unique Australian family of artists whose legacy influenced the shape of Australian art in the 20th century to the present day.
Writing the article was a major collaborative undertaking, requiring collaboration with Boyd family members, Australian museums, and the gallery hosting the exhibition.
