Please join us for an artist talk with Vanessa Woods on her current exhibition somewhere between here and there on March 3, starting at 4:00 p.m. at our Potrero gallery.
somewhere between here and there is a new body of work created from the archive of 1940s-60s paper ephemera and objects that Woods recently inherited from her deceased collage mentor/photographer Ken Graves. Each collage reveals a subject navigating a set comprised of layers that can be pulled up or pulled apart to reveal other realms. With a vast inherited archive as its origin, the works in the exhibition navigate the places between memory and history; the known, and the lost; and the legacy of artist bonds formed across generations.
