Backscatter
Curated by Alicia Renadette

OPENING RECEPTION
Saturday, August 16, 2025
4-6 pm

The exhibition Backscatter invites viewers to revel in the porous boundary between the external world and the ineffable dimensions of memory, sensation, and consciousness.

Moving through liminal spaces, these works function as portals to – or transmissions from– mysterious realms where inherited knowledge and intuitive understanding converge. By exploring visual phenomena like light’s reflection and refraction alongside material processes such as dissolution, crystallization, and transformation, the exhibition examines how our sense of self is continually shifting. Rather than presenting fixed images or straightforward narratives, the artworks encourage an introspective exploration that stirs our subconscious.
