10,000 Flowers Bloom: On Women Artists and the Sources of Self-regard
In conversation, Veronica Dorsett, Preetika Rajgariah, and Gio Swaby tend to quotidian aestheticized spaces of adornment and ritual. Textile, illustration, collage, and embroidery breathe life into haptic expressionism, presenting an intimate perspective motivated by the multiplicity of their realities while reflecting on the role of portraiture not only in art's historical intervention but also in its ability to sow meaningful interrogations of women's subjectivity. The exhibition explores the inexhaustible desire to see oneself through visual culture and storytelling, framing self-imaging or portraiture within cross-disciplinary material practices. An intimate study of figure, form, and radical self-making summons an approach to shaping cultural memory through restorative representational acts of care and self-proclamation, conceptualizing a tactile record of existence. The exposition engages self-exploratory rendering that is sensory, coded, and reflexive. A coalescence of new media and traditional practices reveals the dogmatic and transformative potential of personal and collective narratives—the historical, cultural, present self, and imagined futures of womanhood.
