> Phyllis Green brings sculpture, wearable objects and the body together at LMU's Laband Art Gallery through December 5, 2026. A guide to looking and visiting.

"Phyllis Green: Of My Own Making" is on view at the Laband Art Gallery at Loyola Marymount University from September 24 to December 5, 2026. The exhibition brings together 15 years of work by the Los Angeles-based artist: sculptural and performative objects that interact with the body and its surroundings.

Green works with clay, textiles and found materials. The survey includes handmade garments inspired by ancient Hindu Vedic parables, conceptual wearable furniture and work that brings gender into a conversation with modernist art. The body is a connecting thread, both as a subject and as something these objects might surround, support or change.

One useful question is where an object ends and a body begins. Look at a work's dimensions, its openings and its relationship to a possible wearer before reading the exhibition text. This is an invitation to imagine that relationship, not to touch or try on the works. Then consider how the material changes your first impression: cloth, clay and found objects carry different associations with everyday life.

The gallery describes monument-making as a theme of the exhibition. Here, the monument can recognize the time spent looking, teaching, experimenting and making rather than only a public event or heroic figure. Green received her MFA from UCLA in 1981 and taught at LMU from 1989 to 2011. Those connections place the exhibition within a longer history of making and teaching in Los Angeles.

Admission is free. LMU's event calendar gives the location as 1955 Ignatian Circle, Los Angeles, on the Westchester campus. For Thursday, November 12, it lists hours of 11 AM to 7 PM. Other dates have different hours, so use the university calendar to plan a later visit.
