“I’m calling it Doubt and Defiance. The materials that I use have been relatively consistent - I use a lot of natural materials, a lot of found objects. And I think that really speaks to, specifically in this moment, my resolve to survive and to exist and to exist fully. Even in a world that doesn’t necessarily want that for me. And so, this particular show is a recognition of my defiance in existing, but also my acceptance of the doubt that I have” ()
🔴OPENING TONIGHT, Friday, May 3, 7-9p at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space🔴
‘Doubt and Defiance’, featuring new and recent work by artist Calli Roche (), 2022-2023 alum of ’s LES Studio Program.
Calli’s latest exhibition serves as a profound exploration of one’s true self through understanding the depths of human identity in the present moment.
The works on view are objects that remain from Calli’s ongoing insistence and struggle to remain in a space, portal, or undetermined interim of doubt. Various portals and windows mark different ways Calli is choosing peace and presence in the midst of chaos; by cultivating life and connection therein.
