Hoping Machine

Fall 2023, Distillery Gallery, Boston MA

Hoping Machine was a two-person exhibition featuring the works of myself and weaver Sophia DeJesus-Sabella. The show reflected on survival, upkeep, and desire in the time of climate catastrophe through the lens of the femme experience. The works ranged from multimedia paintings to sculptural weavings, incorporating polyethylene tarp, PVC pipe, ash, sawdust, and other materials enmeshed with manual labor to speak to provisional strategies of perseverance.
