PHOTOSC EXHIBITION OF NANCY FARESE'S ADD | MIX | FOLD - SEPTEMBER 23 - 6-8 PM
The exhibitioln Add|Mix|Fold is inspired by a family pound cake recipe and a metaphor for how stories are mixed and folded into memory, and by bringing the past into the present, this work asks that art become essential in making and remaking sense of our lives. As a Southerner, Farese examines how we also ‘sift’ through the legacy that we inherit, paradoxical in beauty and violence, to decide what to hold onto and let go. Like these art objects, memory is constantly being assembled and collaged, a quilt of fact and fiction that we wrap ourselves in.
The exhibition features 30 hand-crafted photographs, which are tactile by design and push back on digital and synthetic imagery. Adding dimensionality with collage and thread suggests both assembly and exclusion. Stitching is, after all, our most ancient form of repair, associated with the practical but also the creative and the subversive.
A wonderful and fun exhibition that will find resonance with all that still speak Southern. Plan to join PhotoSC for the opening reception welcoming the artist, Nancy Farese, to Columbia, SC. From 6-8 PM at 918 Lady Street.
