In the Fall of 2023, I was invited to join a wonderful cohort of five artists in Tusa, Sicily for a three-week residency program.

Set in a preserved medieval town in the hills and founded by Alfonsina Bellomo and artist Serena Perrone, I produced a number of prints using their incredible Lazzarini Firenze etching press.

The program culminated with the group exhibition:
The Roof, The Arch, The Octagon
Saturday October 21, 2023
6:00-8:00pm

Work by Aaron Pexa, Hildegard Hanson, Erin Morrison, and performances by Willa Van Nostrand and Derek Delehunt.

“As If” reflects upon growing up in a period of extreme mass consumerism after a boom in American Markets in the early 90s. The phrase was used frequently by the character Cher Horowitz, in the 1995 film Clueless, a parody of this time.
These two words, a preposition joined with a conjunction, are grammatically two elements that should never immediately be put together. Collectively it is a statement of complete resistance and a denial of a language system. 

Don’t Believe Everything You Think, is an exhibition that explores how artists manage the universal impulse of negative self-talk through their artistic practice. Working across multiple disciplines: painting, collage, sculpture, photography, performance, video, and sound, the 14 featured artists exert concerted effort to push past, accept, or prevail over their own negative self-talk. Through the sanative process of their art—from genesis, to creation, and finally presentation—they have learned that it is best to not always believe everything you think.

COLONY - SOLO EXHIBITION

Presentation of a new body of painted bas-relief sculptures influenced by historical currency produced in the European settled colonies of the New World.

"Greeting the viewer upon entry is a three-panel mural depicting 15 snakes. Writhing in rows and woven together, the serpents create a mesmerizing, undulating patterned cloth that recalls the deceptive serpent of Genesis. Cast in tinted gypsum and rendered in low relief, the tessellation references histories of weaving and domestic labor, while evoking the sinister undertones surrounding snakes throughout mythology. While some stories connect the serpent to humankind’s fall from paradise, many more stories have placed similar blame on the true root of all
evil: Money. “Inimica Tyrannis America” is a Latin phrase that appeared on some of the first coins designed by the United States of America shortly after the Declaration of Independence. Although the phrase was broadly interpreted as “America fiercely opposes tyranny,” literally translated, however, the phrase actually reads, “Unfriendly Tyrant, America.” The coin depicts a female figure standing with one foot on a British crown while holding a bow in one hand and a downward-facing arrow in another. Today, the irony of the coin’s symbolism, which was clearly lost on our forefathers, challenges whatever noble beliefs one might hold about the way American history has been presented. The horrific way early Americans “settled” this country is riddled with troubling contradictions that we, as a country, must take into account moving forward."

Over the Influence Los Angeles is proud to present this unprecedented homage to Los Angeles gallerist Hollis Benton. In 1980 the Hollis Benton Gallery opened its doors on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Architect Michael Graves gave the architectural concept pro bono. Decked out in chrome, marble surfaces, and harsh accent walls; it was a loud bullhorn for the day’s visual culture. In its nearly ten-year run the gallery broke all the rules for selling out and became an aspirational pioneer in the process.

ELEVATOR MONDAYS is excited to announce DEATH SHOW, the second chapter of THE GREAT FILTER TRILOGY. Building on the narrative arch that began with our previous exhibition, EX NIHILO, DEATH SHOW explores the long-term repercussions, or Planetary Feedback that may face a technologically sophisticated civilization that harvests energy from the finite natural resources of its biosphere. Inlight of the recent IPCC report on Climate Change it has become unreasonable to ignore the coming mortal impact of global warming, this exhibition attempts to serve as a reminder that all stories must end.

ELEVATOR MONDAYS was an artist-run curatorial project inside a converted freight elevator founded by Don Edler. The project focused on bringing together working artists in a social exhibition space to foster dialogue and community through exhibitions and special programing.

Soft Pretzel, a group exhibition presented by Ochi Projects took place during the month October 6-28, 2018 at Vacation Gallery, located at 24A Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002. The exhibition included works by Tanya Brodsky, Rives Granade, Nasim Hantehzadeh, Lilian Martinez, Daniel McKee, Erin Morrison, Claudia Parducci, Ben Sanders and James Seward.

Soft Pretzel featured works investigating sculptural forms and perceived tactility. Evaluating our ability to anticipate sensory experiences as they are conveyed through visual cues, each work explored implied softness, rigidity, dimension, weight, and movement.

VACATION gallery was a timeshare located in New York City’s Lower East Side that hosts contemporary spaces from around the world on a rotating monthly basis. The gallery fosters global dialogue and diverse programming from its network of international cultural producers, paving a new hybrid model for collaborative exhibition and exchange.
