The REBEL Exhibition, a group show presented in collaboration with The Untitled Magazine’s 10th Anniversary REBEL Issue opens on September 29th and on view through October 27, 2022.
.The ‘REBEL’ Exhibition shares the work of artists who not only take risks, but who stand up against oppressive forces, challenging the status quo. The exhibition celebrates true, unbridled authenticity and artists who have had the courage to follow their own path despite any obstacles.” – Curator Indira Cesarine
Please come meet me and I Can’t Breathe at the Opening Reception, September 29 6pm-9pm.
There is opportunity to shift structural language when a person is invited to play with unexpected materials without any expectations. Throughout the weekend of JCAST, Sky Garden Gallery and Theda Sandiford invite you to make strings of beads from recycled bottle caps.
Drawing inspiration from various beading traditions, mixing different bottle caps to make a string of colorful oversized beaded necklaces. Your creation will become a part of an upcoming installation celebrating personal adornment.
You can also tour Sky Garden Gallery and interact with my Emotional Baggage Cart series.
I am looking forward to making, with you….
