In painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, the artists featured in Magically Thinking travel between the physical world and worlds of their own creation, often blurring the lines between abstraction and representation. Their expression serves as a response to the insecurity of an uncertain world that leads to the mental gymnastics of magical thinking.
Curated by Kim Marra, On view August 20th - October 1st at Angels Gate Gallery, Magically Thinking includes the work of Sharon Louise Barnes, Carlos Beltran Arechiga, Vita Eruhimovitz, Margaret Griffith, Kim Marra, Dakota Noot, Megan Reed and Jonathan Ryan.
Solo exhibition on view at Keystone Artspace, January 29th - Februray 6th, 2022.
My work was projected on the facade of the Helms Design Center as part of their “Projecting Possibilities” program in July of 2021. See the whole video here!

The members of Museum Adjacent temporarily installed our artwork outside of and adjacent to museum institutions. This project is an exercise in determining the role of the under-recognized artist within the Los Angeles art world. By placing our work outside of the most visually recognized emblems of the Los Angeles art scene, we make a place for ourselves within the greater conversation; it allows the artists' agency to determine our place within a system that can so often deny inclusion.
The project is part of the 2020 Maiden LA art survey. Check out the rest of the project over at Museum Adjacent!
