porous vessels 2023

Solo exhibition at Higgins Art Gallery of Cape Cod Community College, Barnstable, MA

porous vessels is an exhibition composed primarily of works on paper—drawings, prints, and photographs—that engage with themes of confinement, residue, and transformation. The works span a range of visual and conceptual territories, from the slow violence of plastic pollution and the cyclical processes of organic death and rebirth, to spatial abstraction and the material erosion of geological time.
Through this diverse constellation of images and mark-making strategies, the exhibition contemplates the emotional and material dimensions of permeability. Grief, in particular, is explored not as a fixed state but as something porous—seeping, accumulating, and transmuting across bodies, landscapes, and temporal registers. Each work becomes a vessel: a container of loss, memory, or decay, yet also a site of potential, where rupture might give way to repair.
