DUALITY

ARTISTS / CO-CURATORS - MONICA TYRAN, RONDELL CRIER, AND RONTHERIN RATLIFF
AUGUST 27TH - NOVEMBER 20TH, 2021

Duality explores the positive and negative spaces in life, between lines and in lived experiences. It is a subjective look at balance and lack thereof existing in dualities such as love and hate, peace and violence, life and death, black and white, courageousness and complicity, visible and invisibility. As with the dual nature of every story and the simple and complex decisions that define its vantage point, the artwork takes an internal and external look at life.

This is a small series of prints about remembering through the perspective of adolescence. Remembering the places and time of first loves and formative experiences that are now distant memories, no longer clear or present in its current state. Each print is collaged imagery of old love notes, structures, childhood snacks and candy connecting a time that holds both visible and invisible histories within the environments and places we grew up in and to how memories and remembrance can be episodic in nature.
