“PERSIST RESIST COEXIST”
Wright Gallery, TAMU College of Architecture, TX
Aug. 25-Oct. 16, 2020
PERSIST RESIST COEXIST is a group exhibition celebrating women rights. My work on view is from a new series called “Time Scraps from the Universe”, where I am repurposing old photo projects, materials, and scraps from my studio to make new works in collage, stop-frame animation, and installation. Through the act of self-reflection and connecting common threads, I am thinking about creativity as an iterative loop or spiral, in which recontextualizing the past can foster reinvention or forge alternative pathways. The small pieces in the show function as sketches for potential larger works.

Humans have used symbols of earth, fire, water, and air for millennia, using them as metaphors to communicate universal ideals and truths about the world in which we live. This exhibition dives into a variety of contemporary practices that continue to express our awe, reverence, and dependence on two of the four Aristotelian elements, in unexpected and dynamic ways.
