Exhibition Statement
Threadings is an exploration of modern storytelling in visual media. What are the subtler narratives of our lives? What intimate details of our collective and individual histories, cultures, and identities can be found in the texture of a painting or the shape of a line?
Titled after and inspired by the storytelling of culture worker and essayist, Ismatu Gwendolyn, this exhibition is an invitation to reflect on where we find ourselves situated in the dialogue between humanity’s capacity for self-expression and the limits of our physical forms featuring works with an emphasis on personal narratives, fiction/folklore, and the abstraction of memory.
May you leave with a word, image, or feeling in mind that shapes what becomes of your story.
