Millennial Nostalgia: A Sculptural Journey Through the '90s and 2000s 

Step into a world where childhood innocence collides with the challenges of adulthood. Millennial Nostalgia, an exhibition by artist Jackie Fischer, features ceramic sculptures that immortalize the toys, technology, and sweet treats that shaped a generation.

This work reflects Fischer’s personal yearning for a time when the anxiety of the world had not yet fully seeped into consciousness—when the American Dream felt tangible, and hard work could still earn you a house with a yard for the dog. But what happened to that promise? Crippling student loan debt, the income-to-mortgage ratio, and a broken housing supply have left a generation longing for simpler days.

From the fun of Skip-It to the fleeting joy of Hit Clips, these sculptures capture the cultural markers of a pre-digital age. Through humor and pain, innocence and cynicism, the collection offers a powerful reflection on how nostalgia can both comfort and distort our understanding of the complexities of our current landscape.

📅 Opening Night: Friday, January 31st, 6–8 PM
📍 The Spark of Hudson
