The Gleanings

RSM GALLERY, Bentley University, Waltham, MA

Joetta Maue’s work is a meditation on the sublime within the everyday, where the banal and profound coexist. Through installations, images, and text, she explores traces of life—sunlight across a room, the residue of process, the quiet rhythms of everyday space—as evidence of our presence in time. The embroideries, Close-reads, reveal invisible research, language, and memory, while the sampler form references women’s historical labor and literacy. Sojourn, a wall installation, considers the temporary intimacy of place and process. Across all works, she aims to hold the ephemeral, offering objects that are vessels for time and attentive presence.
