Veronica Cianfrano
Veronica Cianfrano’s You’ll Be Okay: A Bad Daughter’s Guide to Survival is an exhibition exploring concepts of trauma, breaking patterns, and the creation of new narratives through viewer participation. The show is composed entirely of artworks by Cianfrano from various stages of her artistic career, and curated by Jessica Clark, a long-time friend and collaborator who has known her through many of those stages.
The totality of our experiences makes us who we are; the totality of an artist’s catalog has a similar role. Past and present hang together on these walls, just as thoughts of the past bubble up into our daily lives. Viewers are invited to actively create their own stories based on the artworks present in the show, deriving meaning from the imagery, materials, and formal choices made by the artist. Gallery attendees are able to move through the show unencumbered, empowered to inhabit roles of author and creator. The viewer achieves what the artist cannot by viewing the work from a different perspective; they offer up new meanings and steer the direction of future pieces.
Emily Ennulat-Lustine
Emily Ennulat-Lustine’s series, GROUNDING, is inspired by the practice of walking barefoot upon the earth. It suggests that returning to ourselves can begin with something as simple as stepping outside. By bringing the body into direct relationship with the landscape, we can experience the physical and emotional connection to the natural world—the quiet, restorative act of slowing down and feeling our feet on the ground. These paintings incorporate her original collagraphs into encaustic paintings, a medium she began learning in 2018. The quiet, monochromatic figures stand in contrast to the abundance and intricate detail of their surroundings, becoming almost a meditation on our place within nature—not as separate observers, but as part of a larger, living whole.
