/DETAILS
In FIRE Brenda Draney and Jewel Shaw contemplate the devastating effects of fire. Fire as disaster, erasure, and gesture. Fire as transformation, cleansing, and rebirth. They draw upon personal experiences, family stories, and disputed cultural histories, to delve deep into the crevasses of memory. Whether the disaster is personal or public, their visual works delicately weave fact and fiction, presence and absence, storytelling and silence. Their visual gestures grapple with the lasting effects of trauma and recovery.
