DECAYING MEMORIES
Alayne Caroline Ballantine at Fourteenfifteen Gallery Opening reception: Friday Sept 8, 7-10pm Decaying Memories is a series of pieces mimicking the traditional neon signage that is so historic in Albuquerque that shows the depth and distortion of our memories and nostalgia over time. Specifically, the powerful changes in memory that occur to humans during periods of isolation and exile. We use memories to maintain self-awareness. During periods of solitary confinement and social exclusion those memories become warped. Decaying Memories is a visual expression of this decay, mirrored after the road signs and neon that are nostalgic memories for us living along the Route 66 corridor. It will show the warped, painful feelings hidden within nostalgia; bringing to light the reality that many face not just within the carceral state, but within our everyday lives as we move through time. |

REMEDIES
Abraham Miramontes Opening reception: Friday Sept 8, 7-10pm Abraham Miramontes is an artist and arts educator who works in oil paints and lino block prints. His work is a reflection of his inner spiritual life and personal struggles. Using evocative anatomical and natural imagery, his work points both to the divine and to mortal messiness. Through his art, Miramontes seeks to create a personal connection to God, whose love is offered to all regardless of sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic or social status. Abraham Miramontes, born in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua in 1991, is an artist and arts educator, and continues to grow as the artist he is proud to be. |
