Chris Ramsay: A World View

July 28 - Nov. 21, 2026

Reception | August 21, 2026

This show invites visitors to slow down and look closely at three intricate globe-like sculptures created in 1999 by artist and educator Chris Ramsay. Filled with birds, insects, fruit, and found objects, each sculpture reveals surprising details from every angle, rewarding curiosity and careful observation. Blending natural forms with handcrafted metalwork, Ramsay's work explores our relationship with the environment and the ways we experience the world around us. This intimate exhibition celebrates the legacy of a beloved Oklahoma State University professor whose art continues to inspire wonder, reflection, and discovery.
