Dallas, TX | Laura Rathe Fine Art is pleased to announce Between Worlds, a joint exhibition
featuring new works by Christy Lee Rogers and Lucrecia Waggoner. The opening reception will
take place on October 3, 2026, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM at the Dallas Design District location.
Lucrecia Waggoner will be in attendance.
Between Worlds brings together two artists working in vastly different mediums: Waggoner
through sculptural porcelain and Rogers through underwater photography. Through material,
light, and movement, the exhibition explores the space between the physical and the imagined,
transforming the tangible into something otherworldly. Waggoner’s porcelain installations drift
across the wall, while Rogers’ submerged figures appear to exist outside the boundaries of
gravity and time. In dialogue, their works move between earth and water, stillness and motion,
inviting viewers into a world that feels both familiar and somehow beyond reach.
Christy Lee Rogers creates painterly photographic works entirely underwater, using the currents
and refraction of water to render human figures in luminous, dreamlike compositions.
Photographed at night in illuminated pools, her subjects are submerged beneath the surface as
flowing fabrics, bodies, and light intertwine in moments that exist only for an instant. Rogers
captures these elusive scenes, allowing the natural distortion of water to create images often
compared to the drama and intensity of Baroque painting. Rich in color and visual depth, her
photographs blur the boundaries between photography and painting, reality and illusion.
Through water, Rogers creates a realm where figures appear suspended between the earthly
and the divine.
Working primarily in porcelain, Lucrecia Waggoner creates intricate wall installations composed
of hand-formed vessels. Drawing inspiration from nature, ancient civilizations, and the enduring
relationship between humanity and the earth, Waggoner transforms porcelain into expansive
compositions that unfold rhythmically across their surroundings. Each individual element bears
the subtle variations of the artist’s hand. Together they form a larger, unified, presence
reminiscent of organic formations, celestial patterns, or landscapes viewed from afar. Through
repetition, texture, and the interplay of light and shadow, Waggoner elevates a material rooted
in the earth into sculptural works that feel meditative, timeless, and weightless.
In Between Worlds, the artists’ contrasting mediums find harmony. Waggoner gives permanence
to delicate forms, while Rogers captures moments that disappear almost as quickly as they are
created. One sculpts porcelain through rhythm and form; the other creates imagery through
fluidity and chance. Together, their works exist between what is solid and what is fluid, what can
be held and what can only be experienced, revealing beauty in the threshold between worlds.
Between Worlds will be on view through November 6th, 2026.
