Group Show: PERSIST RESIST COEXIST

August 29, 2020 in events, exhibitions, new work, news

“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.

Virtual Opening Reception and Artists Talks: TBA
