Historic District 2: Gateway; Historic District 1: Innocence; Tapestry for Community Building

Small gallery space with one wall taken up by a teal blue painted photo backdrop depicting tropical foliage, lava, a blank neon cityscape, and fiery explosions in the distance. A painted stool is set in front with a little painted screen of foliage to hide the sitter's feet. An empty camera tripod is set up facing the display.

Plaster casts of two fancy dining chair backs mounted on the wall; cast of a crumpled spray canister on a plinth; and a cast of a naked lightbulb and fixture mounted to the wall.

Three brightly colored paintings depicting a person hanging laundry against a red and yellow quilted geometric pattern background; a person in a pink headscarf picking berries from a bush into a basket; the torso of a young person in a school uniform wearing a backpack against a bright red and navy geometric background.

Small gallery space; in the foreground is a tank of murky orange liquid hooked up to a construction of tubes; in the background are two black and white drawings and on the floor is a sand-colored donut shaped sculpture.

Two works in a gallery; a wall-mounted square wooden frame contains a black and white topographic line drawing of a donut-shaped objects with many lumps and crevices; suspended a few inches off the floor is a sand-colored physical model that matches the drawing.

Black and white drawing wrapped around a partition wall depicting people in short black dresses and striped kneesocks with huge fluffy hair riding on flying balls of hair.

Two prints on a black wall. The left depicts a shirtless person, torso up, looking at the viewer, with a saintly halo behind their head. The right print is a clenched fist with the pointer finger upwards, also against a saintly halo.

Three prints in a black box space. Left and right are a pointing hand and a foot against a saintly halo background; in the middle is a mostly-nude person sitting at a desk in a cluttered studio with a saintly halo behind their head.

Close up photo of a greyish organically shaped object that is made up of topographic sections.

Two grey, lumpy objects in a vaguely teardrop shape sit in a trough of sand.

Three paintings on a wall; the left is smaller and square and depicts a person's bust with short dark hair and an elaborate collar and lacy dress on a red bkgd; the middle is largest and depicts a person in a headscarf with a saintly halo behind their head cradling a child; the right is small and square and depicts a smiling person with dark hair, huge red hoop earrings, and a yellow dress on a teal and gold background.

Construction consisting of a minifridge, a plastic wheeled cart, a wooden endtable, a hexagonal aquarium tank, and electrical cables. The fridge is filled with Gatorade bottles, the cart is stacked with oranges, orange slices, and a pile of sticky dirty masonry and tubes. The tankard is full of a murky orange liquid, which is being filled by a trickle from a tube on top of the cart.

Two people in masks stand around a donut shaped object suspended a few inches off the floor of a gallery space and chat.

Two people round the corner of a small gallery space towards a black box room. Black and white drawings are on the walls.

Two people in a gallery space peer at a construction made from a minifridge, a cart, an endtable, and an aquarium tank full of murky orange liquid.

An array of pieces from a brick house are displayed in a gallery space. In back is a tall narrow segment of a brick wall, plastered and wallpapered on one side with a little wooden shelf displaying a headless ceramic goose; a piece of brick wall with a little sliver of a white wooden door including a door handle sits on a plinth; another wooden segment is on a plinth opposite. On the back wall is a metal bar with dangling chain link covered with gems and trinkets.
