Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin ExhibitionMarch 31, 2026 – June 27, 2026Tue-Sat, 10am-4pm, CLOSED Sun, Mon
"Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin" brings together recent sculptural works from this Helena, Montana-based artist. The loom has long served as the foundation of her methodical and often labor-intensive process, where the slow creation of each piece allows for deliberate shaping and assessment over time. Using unexpected and unconventional materials like paper and foam as wefts, a variety of non-traditional strings as warps, as well as woven pieces cast in metal, the artist’s work rewards close inspection, asking us to slow down and engage reflectively.
Central to her concerns are the gaps between what we believe we know and what remains unknown, creating space for wonder, contemplation, and connection. Correspondingly, her woven forms are intentionally ambiguous and in a state of change. Their structures invite multiple interpretations appearing near completion, undergoing deconstruction, or suspended between concealment and exposure. Jung relates this fluidity to one’s own sense of evolving self.
“The core component of my work has always been identity and self-preservation,” says the artist. “It’s about how our narratives constantly evolve to fit into a much larger cultural narrative in order to survive.”
LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium/CUB) WSU Pullman campus.

On Wednesday, April 1, from 5:30 to 7:00pm, join us at the museum for the Visiting Writers Series with author Josiah Morgan. Every year the Visiting Writers Series brings noted poets and writers of fiction and nonfiction to campus for readings, class visits, workshops, and collaborative exchanges across intellectual and artistic disciplines. This April welcomes Māori writer and artist Josiah Morgan from New Zealand for a reading and Q&A session.
About the Author: Josiah Morgan is a writer and artist based in Christchurch, New Zealand working across literature, theatre, performance art and curatorial practice. He is the author of three poetry collections, including most recently i’m still growing (2024, Dead Bird Books). His novella, Road: A Postlapsarian Comedy (Feral Dove Books) won the Macmillan Brown Writers Prize from University of Canterbury in 2022. He is also the writer of a hybrid-text poetic-horror-memoir derived from memories, impressions and readings of Tobe Hooper’s film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, of which it shares a title. For Auckland Pride 2024, Josiah Morgan performed a full reading of his book The Texas Chainsaw Massacre whilst running a half marathon, among other things, alongside sound artists Bernadine Gladding and Shaun McTague. He believes in magic and the power of words to transform.
