Something Worth Doing

Solo Exhibition

2022

White-wall gallery space with framed prints on the left wall and sculptures on the floor in the background

Something Worth Doing is a playful reflection on the objects we surround ourselves with and the comfort they provide, both physically and psychologically. From foam mattress toppers and massage tools purchased online, to cardboard boxes, natural materials, and inherited objects, the care in selecting and displaying these things belies the fact that they are not altogether precious. This raises questions of value and meaning in relation to consumerism and commodification, as well as the things we save.

Something Worth Doing was my second solo exhibition with Hamiltonian Artists in Washington, DC. The exhibition received reviews in BmoreArt and East City Art.
