Selected Exhibitions
Under this mask, another mask, 2024 (Abigail Ogilvy, Los Angeles)
The gender-fluid Surrealist Claude Cahun quipped, “Under this mask, another mask; I will never finish removing all these faces.” Following Cahun, the artists in this exhibition fuse interiority and exteriority, recombining architectural elements and body parts in liberatory ways. Curated by Sam Adams, Ellen Johnson '33 Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Allen Art Museum | on view January 9-February 17, 2024 | View more images from this exhibition
Janus, 2020 (edgar gallery, Los Angeles)
“Harris restructures and repurposes her own praxis, creating an idiosyncratic space of rupture and movement… Each representational trace originates in the archives of her earlier paintings, which recombine botanical illustrations, medieval tarot cards, colonial-era maps and other images from Western knowledge systems. Harris’ cut-ups, similar to Dadaist theory, oppose harmony and make use of improvisation to learn from spontaneity.” —Erika Hirugami (curator) | View more images from this exhibition
Ghost Prairie, 2016 (CSPS Hall, Cedar Rapids, IA)
“The installation is a shimmering phantasmagoria, wheeling between the figurative and the abstract, light and dark, organic and geometric form. The prairie, or the memory of the prairie, is rendered in a series of modular cubes, ink paintings mounted on woodblocks, that at times appear to be spilling out their lush contents: soft pieces of pattern and bird wing, the spectral stalks of long-dead plants. The vanished landscape, the interlocking tiles of the phantom plains, is a puzzle with no solution. Ghostly, we cannot take possession of it.” — Anya Ventura (from catalog essay) | View more images from this exhibition
