The GOLLY! exhibition at SRISA Florence has now closed.
GOLLY! reflected on the ways in which the personal can construct profound narratives about collectivity and the collective can provide flattened or fragile notions of individuality.
The works exhibited were a mash up of my abstract paintings and pattern based works dedicated to the minstrel like Golliwogs; the former, a meditation on my Midwest upbringing, of quilting and of distant geographies and, the latter, a grappling with a form of ownership and active detachment of stereotypes from their human implications.
A big Thank You! to everyone who came and for all the feedback!
