Our America

Our America

Our America: Critical Perspectives on Americana opens this Thursday, April 28, 2017 at Gelman Gallery in Providence, RI. 

The show is curated by Anna McNeary and Aaron Field Simmons and includes my work, Inheritance.

"Americana traditionally refers to a culture of collecting objects that represent patriotism, national identity, westward expansion, home, and heritage. The artists in this show draw from these themes while critiquing and subverting the ideologies inherent in the objects they produce. The work in Our America pays homage to the changing traditions and intimate life moments experienced by artists and designers as they grapple with how to materially document and collect diverse narratives of the 'American experience.'"

Mutual Encounters

Mutual Encounters

Mutual Encounters opens March 16, 2017, at Gelman Gallery in Providence, RI. This show, curated by Anina Major and Vanessa Nieto Romero, "brings female artists together to tackle questions of social justice, especially how systematic injustice is experienced on the personal scale."

Alex Gencarelli and I collaborated on a performance/video/installation, Deformation Attends Her. 

Deformation Attends Her

Where do a woman’s societal and psychological experiences intersect with the physicality of her body? Deformation Attends Her considers the overlap of these realms and the qualities necessary for her to endure.
