TALL TALES Caitlin Carcerano Opening reception: Friday July 12, 6-10pm Closing reception: Friday August 2, 6-10pm The title of this show, Tall Tales, is in reference to how this body of work is a way of mythologizing myself. Tall tales are often told in a way that makes the narrator seem to have been a part of the story, which is aligned with the way I center myself and my experiences in my work. In some paintings, the female figure looms large in the landscape, subverting the trope of giant men in folklore traversing the land. In other paintings, cosmic elements like eclipses, stars, and umbras take the stage along with the figure. Each of my pieces exist as moments in time that are part of a larger narrative, like panels in a comic. I seek to imbue still images with a sense of action, as if they are moments in an overarching story. The softness of the human body is critical to my work. |

Photos from My Neighborhood Petra Brown Opening reception: Friday July 12, 6-10pm Closing reception: Friday August 2, 6-10pm The project started as a simple observation - an appreciate of color and texture converging. It has transformed into a multimedia celebration of where I live, my appreciation for its uniqueness, richness, and sense of home it provides me. Photos from My Neighborhood is an alternative archive of color, texture, and shape - how light danced and played with surfaces. Like photos, encapsulating a moment in time, this series captures how a single sunbeam interacted with chipping paint once. Mundane and fleeting as it is, this series depicts Barelas through on resident’s eyes. |
