Silver Art Projects Studio Residency
I’m happy to announce that I’ve been accepted to the Silver Art Projects Residency program for the 2022-2023 cohort. This unique residency provides a studio space in the World Trade Center complex for 10-months starting in September.
October 14 - 16, 2022
I’m excited to show some pieces from my Mirage series at ArtVerona with A plus A Gallery in October.
I’ve already started to get my hands dirty, but this winter I’m excited to officially start a ceramics residency at Artshack in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn.
FIGURE, CHARACTER, SIGN
Friday, July 29 – Friday, August 19, 2022
A PLUS A GALLERY - Calle Malipiero, San Marco 3073, Venice 30124, Italy
I was happy to participate and install a new site-specific wall collage piece in this exhibition coordinated by Boston University College of Fine Arts and School of Visual Arts, along with BU Study Abroad, Global Programs, and The Venice Studio Arts Program as they celebrate more than 20 years of teaching art and design in Venice. They partnered with A plus A Gallery and School for Curatorial Studies, Venice, for the exhibition, “Figure, Character, Sign” that looks at ritualized artistic return as an important form of cultural inquiry and a source for creative work.
By circling back to the past—and to language, identity, archetypal images, earthly elements, and card games—the artists in this exhibition develop new forms of expression, share research, and raise questions about the individual relative to the collective. Patterns of stones, water, stars, and leaves evoke nature, spiritual ritual, the context of Venice, and connections between the human and non-human—a theme of the 2022 Venice Biennale.
The exhibition featured work by BU alumni Maria Molteni (CFA’06) and Adrienne Elise Tarver (CFA’07), and Radical Return, a group project of work by Chinese and Chinese American artists and designers curated by Mary Y. Yang and Zhongkai Li. “Figure, Character, Sign” is curated by Dana Clancy, Director, Associate Professor of Art, and Mary Y. Yang, Assistant Professor of Art, at BU College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts.
