I'm thrilled to announce the opening of I AM, Kehler Liddell Gallery's 4th Annual Juried Show. This show, originally scheduled for April - May 2020, was postponed due to COVID-19. With the help of the dedicated gallery staff, the show is currently ON! The gallery is currently open on a limited basis, with scaled-back hours and a strict COVID protocol - masks worn, social distancing and up to 4 people in the gallery at a time.
This, in a press release from the gallery:
How do you see yourself? How do others see you? What makes you, you? From selfies to personal branding to the complexities of identity politics, our carefully crafted personas are routinely broadcast to the world via the internet. The modern world revels in the revelation of a semblance of self, allowing us to conceal as much as we reveal. In this age of unprecedented exposure, how can an artist offer some fresh statement of self?
These were some of the questions posed in this year’s call to artists for I Am…, the fourth annual juried show at Kehler Liddell Gallery. Curated by gallery artists, the collection contains work in a wide variety of media, from digital, new media, abstract expressions of self, to more traditional (and not so traditional) painted, drawn, photographed self portraits. As we all continue to navigate the world of social distancing, it feels ever more poignant to gather this collection of selves — of I AM — to create a powerful, revelatory voice of WE ARE.

My piece (not the one pictured above) is titled, My Tattoos. Photos soon! Can't wait to see it installed! The show will run July 31 - August 30, 2020.
