Maurelle met Pacheco when he began teaching at Clark and the two immediately started talking about collaborating on a show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMateria\u201d highlights the connection between language, materials, and cultures, and diasporic influences are apparent throughout the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maurelle sourced many of his materials from recycled or discarded items on Clark\u2019s campus. Pacheco sources items in a similar way, Maurelle says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis show is more wood and [also] works in plastic, metal, bronze,\u201d he says. \u201cIt&#8217;s this call and response to the materials between both of the sets. It&#8217;s a type of twinning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/worcestercraftcenter.org\/events\/materia-victor-pacheco\/\">show is on view through Oct. 3<\/a>; an artist talk will be held on Friday, Oct. 2, at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maurelle\u2019s pieces include two wooden thrones, both named after diasporic women. One is called \u201cPou Sen Suzanne\u201d for Suzanne Simone Baptiste Louverture, who was arrested and tortured by soldiers of Napoleon Bonaparte, who wanted to find her husband&#8217;s whereabouts, during the Haitian Revolution. The other is named \u201cSaint Althea\u201d in honor of Althea Gibson, an American tennis player (who Maurelle calls the original GOAT &#8211; Greatest of All Time) who in 1956 became the first Black player to win a Grand Slam event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thrones contain mirrors given to Maurelle by a Clark colleague, and in the exhibit space, the thrones are placed facing one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you&#8217;re in a hotel or someplace where they have mirrors in an elevator, it does this infinity thing. The thrones for some reason do not do that,\u201d he says. \u201cIt reflects three times.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pieces suggest self-reflection, the absence of bodies, and necessary conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19-1024x682.avif\" alt=\"wooden art piece in gallery with two people standing nearby\" class=\"wp-image-29752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19-1024x682.avif 1024w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19-1200x800.avif 1200w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-19.avif 1994w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13-1024x683.avif\" alt=\"Three people look at wooden art piece in gallery\" class=\"wp-image-29749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13-1200x800.avif 1200w, https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/MATERIA-_Opening_Sept_2026-13.avif 1902w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Professors John Garten, James Maurelle (center), and Meredith Neuman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to wood, paint, and graphite, Maurelle also used his own blood and spit as materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a marker that this is my work, but also this is tied to my family,\u201d says Maurelle, who has two daughters. \u201cIt\u2019s \u2018CSI.\u2019 I&#8217;m guilty of making this work.
