Opening: Beyond/Within at LAUNCH LA

I’m so proud of Beyond/Within, currently on view at LAUNCH LA (Sept. 7 to 28). Curated by Andi Campognone, it features work from my new “Post-Apocalyptic Petroglyphs” series and the textile sculptures of Samuelle Richardson.

And yay! We are an LA Weekly Art Pick! I love Falling James’ descriptions of my “evocative and haunting collision of black and white paint burying hints of letters, words and other vestiges of communication under a seemingly random splatter of entropic plaster” and Samuelle’s “rough-hewn cloth sculptures of disembodied heads and squawking birds spliced up with scar-like stitches.”
