...And That Is Where The Bobcat Is Right Now 2020
Imagine, for an instance, we could hit pause or even just catch our breath when the world seems to want anything but that. An offering of respite to reimagine the world, build an empathetic future, & participate in compassionate ecologies. A time and space between material and the immaterial. Beyond the past, present, and future ….And That Is Where A Bobcat is Right Now

Generously Entangled November 2021
In the movement and passing of threads, complex structures can be formed– structures that draw forth ritual, the observable now, and evoke the future. Practices of mindfulness braid together materials of earth and matter, narrative and exchange, nuance and pigment. These practices and materials become embodiments GENEROUSLY ENTANGLED in image and object. This exhibition explores the intertwining practices of aesthetic hybridity, material culture, and reciprocity through the paintings of Codi Maddox, the assemblages of Emmanuel Manu Opoku, and the ceramic collaboration of Michelle Laxalt & Jiha Moon.

This project was curated by ArtHere. I was interested in drawing attention to the often overlooked local ecology as a food source. The warped perspectives of importing fish from the Pacific and Atlantic as well as the Gulf of Mexico to the Midwest, is a troublesome practice of the anthropocene that may need rethinking. The fish in the local ecology of southern Indiana, like crawfish, catfish, blue gills, and bass are missing from local restaurants and markets. There are portions of the local population that continue to sustain themselves through fishing, and I want to raise the question to new populations that overlook this local food source.
