Titled after a poem by Edgar Allan Poe, From Every Depth of Good and Ill, is an exhibition composed of vignettes created with ceramic sculpture, ephemeral installation works, and printmaking. The work primarily references domesticity and antiquated subjects to illustrate the process of coping with past trauma and the resultant feelings of shame, inadequacy, and incompleteness. Marked by a palette of warm rust and sepia, aged patterning, and worn textures, the tableau of objects presented within the space mimic old familial photographs. Each resulting work serves as a dirty looking-glass for the viewer to peer through.

OK to Play is an exhibition that explores the development of communication skills through objects and imagery related to play. Invented symbols inspired by English and Japanese letters along with animal characters form the basis of two- and three-dimensional artwork that conveys the joys and struggles of connecting with other people. I made toy-like sculptures from a variety of materials such as wood, fibers, and resin. Viewers are invited to handle the sculptures and explore their textures and sounds. My work aims to provide an environment that encourages viewers to play with the art and other people.

Cuídate /Take Care of Yourself is an exhibition that explores domestic objects and girlhood memories are translated through iterative printmaking, collage, and slip-casting processes. A narrative of uncanny disparate objects and illustrated bodies interact. Making visible the hidden realities, lost dreams, and traumas of navigating traditional womanhood. Through symbolism and allegory, each quietly confronts the repetitive, deeply rooted, and openly hidden sexist values prevalent in Norteño culture. I often recall my mother's expressions and colloquialisms as inspiration. This set of colloquialisms and illustrative representations of girlhood trauma in my work exemplifies an exchange of values and the divided relationship they create between immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters

Home, Do You Remember Me, Home explores the quiet complexity of an emerging sense of self in relation to the effects of time and space. The works record the shifting intimate spaces and the social and cultural environments as the artist, Chenxi Gao, moved from one home to another, from rural to urban, and from China to the U.S. Gao layers and manipulates materials to discover dualities: concealing versus revealing, safety versus restriction… The works echo her thoughts: Where do I come from? What to do with my memories? Where am I going? They ask questions without providing the answers.

Prayer Room – “ पूजा कोठा” is an exhibition that explores the realms of self-awareness of being through my dual identities Buddhist and Nepali. Through a sequence of print compositions enveloping an immersive installation, I delve into the interconnected themes of time, transformation, and consciousness, all experienced through the senses. This exhibition aims to create an environment where one is invited to become aware of the present moment through the senses and find a profound sense of quiet and freedom. The exhibition will have a two series of monoprints, a series of painted panels, and a central installation of suspended fabric banners in the center of the gallery. The exhibition invites contemplation on the intersection of identity and sensory perception.

Touched and Loved and Worn is an exhibition that explores the meanings embedded in contemporary material culture. Using clutter, craft materials, and the aesthetics of kitsch, I assess how cultural identity and personal memory are established through the production and dissemination of objects. I embrace the self-referential nature of kitsch by drawing attention to the materiality of objects and their market saturation. Through the collection, curation, and construction of mundane objects, I invite the viewer to reconsider the cultural paradigms within Americana. These pieces are explorations of how materials embody culture and memory.
