Closing Reception for "The Midnight Parade" | Gallery Exhibition

My purpose for this exhibition is to create a fantastical immersive experience in clay and multi-media. I would love to use each part of the vertical and horizontal space, mobiles that tell stories, indicative of past folklore, inspired by multiple cultures - monsters to be wary of, and unexpected heroes; A gallery wall of creature portraits, each with a different personalities; Sculptures that hint of a foreign environment that is novel, yet familiar.

Gallery Hours: Mondays, June 9th, 16th, and 23rd from 5-7pm

Closing Reception for "Ladyscapes & Climate Haste" | Gallery Exhibition
May
30

Closing Reception for "Ladyscapes & Climate Haste" | Gallery Exhibition

Ladyscapes & Climate Haste was born out of the anxiety of our present world. Natural disasters, genocides, billionaire oligarchs, and corruption surround us entirely. Yet, there is one hopeful thread running through all of the madness: women trying to save the f*cking world; their ability to maintain stability among the chaos. The earth isn’t without women. The creation of art and community may become some of the most vital tools for the revolution (which will most definitely not be televised). The art of compiling climate and women focused surreal mixed media collages has propelled us into a constant state of contemplation and grief, but also of curiosity and creation!

Gallery Hours: Sundays, May 4th, 11th, and 18th from 5-7pm
