(see times)
"Like Tar, Like Baskets" brings together new works in painting and ceramics from Maria Paz, Grace Rosario Perkins, and Cristienne Dugan Cuadra. Please join us at SWIM Gallery on July 19th from 6 to 9 pm for the exhibition opening.
Paz and Perkins’ individual practices explore their respective familial histories of being taken from land and land being taken. Like Tar, Like Baskets includes the two artists’ first collaborative work together, a piece that pays homage to the sacred elements of their native lands by combining Perkins’ abstract color work with Paz’s symbolic images.
In Like Tar, Like Baskets, Dugan Cuadra, Perkins and Paz utilize color to express the brightness of light, the experience of indigeneity, and the intimate pictorial history of familial healing. Perkins’ work is abstract and plays with language and color, Dugan Cuadra’s explores light through color, and Paz’s is dense with the color and images of her past.
Ancestral history sticks like tar. Baskets contain the fruits of our labor, hold information, and preserve contents.
