Cherylle Booker: Titania’s Masquerade: Unseen Worlds of Wonder
@ Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Friday, September 22nd, at 6PM
On view through Saturday, November 4th
Attend the opening reception of Cherylle Booker’s first solo exhibition “Titania’s Masquerade: Unseen Worlds of Wonder” on Friday, September 22 from 6-9pm in the Slemmons Gallery at Epiphany Center for the Arts. The ceramic sculptures of Cherylle Booker draw deep from the well of ancient myth. Booker’s hands build the likenesses of everything from Shakespearean fairy queens to Yoruba water spirits to biblical seraphim. A fairy-tale addict from early childhood, such supernatural figures are instinctive subjects for the artist. But Booker depicts these characters with a purpose. They are vessels for psychological explorations, ways of talking through subjects of PTSD, resilience, and the challenges of navigating the norms of the neurotypical world.
