In Lost and Found (and Lost Again), artists Jake Guttormsson and Rob Weiss explore what it means to reassemble the pieces of memory, of self, of the worlds we build and leave behind. The exhibition is both playful and searching, mixing humor with melancholy, and fantasy with familiarity. It celebrates the act of creating something new from what’s been forgotten, discarded, or overlooked.

Jake Guttormsson works in papier-mâché, using everyday remnants of newspapers, cardboard, old bills, and bits of string, to conjure handcrafted figures from an invented mythology he calls Fang Creek. His characters, part spirit and part storyteller, inhabit a post-apocalyptic landscape that feels oddly human. Each form begins as a conversation between artist and material, evolving through trial, accident, and intuition. Guttormsson’s process transforms the humble and handmade into relics of another world, objects that feel both ancient and alive.

Rob Weiss approaches that same sense of rediscovery through paint, collage, and pop imagery. Drawing from cult films, science fiction, and mid-century design, his works remix the visual language of nostalgia into something more charged and self-aware. Figures seem caught between identities; icons blur into abstraction. His surfaces hum with color and irony, yet beneath them runs a deep curiosity about how culture, memory, and emotion intersect.

Curator Jeremy Moss brings these two artists together not for contrast, but for conversation. Guttormsson’s tactile storytelling and Weiss’s graphic wit both challenge what it means to “find” meaning in a world saturated with images and fragments. Each artist, in his own way, builds a space where imagination becomes a form of recovery, a way to see the lost parts of ourselves with fresh eyes.

In the end, Lost and Found (and Lost Again) reminds us that discovery isn’t a destination, it’s a cycle. What we find, we inevitably lose again, only to rediscover it later, transformed by time, touch, and the quiet persistence of art.
