KATE SWEENEY

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

OPENING: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 5 P.M. TO 7 P.M.

ON VIEW: SEPTEMBER 7 - 27

In Kate Sweeney's most personal show yet, she turns toward some of her deepest, intimate memories and explores the ways art allows us to alchemize our pain, grief, and our most haunting visual indentations. Throughout this new body of work, Kate explores themes such as femininity, loss of innocence, transformation, trauma, and how a single memory can shape us forever. Holding a compassionate space for herself as well as the viewer, Kate taps into where she feels the greatest sense of suffering, and of healing, with the resulting photographs coming from a place of her lived experiences, merging the past and present. Ultimately,Hidingin Plain Sight gives pain an altar, where it can be seen as something beautiful.
