Memory Cave: Eli Thorne and Grace Rosario PerkinsJanuary 12 - February 16, 2019Opening Reception, January 12 7 - 10PMHours By Appointment
The Growlery presents a two person exhibition featuring the work ofGrace Rosario Perkins and Eli Thorne. Perkins and Thorne’s paintingsare connected through the use of mining emotionally charged internalspaces or “memory caves” to create dense textured paintings thatreference symbols, personal writing, autobiographical and fabricatednarratives, landscape, cultural dissonance, and living ideas.
Both artists work strictly from intuition—where Thorne’s paintingsinvestigate spaces as lost and imagined worlds drawing from emblems ofcontemporary trans life bringing forth sentiment, power, energy, andat times, fantasy. Perkins uses a constant method of addition andredaction in which she paints phrases, images, and ideas culled fromconversations, journals, books, and memory resulting in surfaces thatare dense representations of what she calls “someone picking uppieces in a new body and sometimes never understanding them.”
Together the artists will display work in conversation, showcasinglarge scale and small scale paintings along with plants, objects,photographs, and sculpture in a collaborative installation.
