(courtesy of the Gallery)
As a way to process grief and loss, Teresa Vander Meer-Chassé has created a literal and metaphorical shelter that has been reclaimed, reconstructed, and revitalized. Having found herself in deep internal conflict following the loss of a family member to substance use, she invites audiences to wind their way through Worms Shower Among Us and enter Nee’ Shah | Our House to witness the importance of awakening sleeping materials as a method of navigating loss. Through the processing of natural materials with her family and the creation of two installation works, she empowers audiences to witness universal cycles of loss, grief, and mourning.
