November 16 - December 7, 2019
A solo exhibition featuring paintings by Catherine Graffam.
“Cowboy Take Me Away by Catherine Graffam reimagines the artist’s past through expressive self portraits, unearthing the experiences of growing up queer in rural Maine and reflecting on the affects of her upbringing. The pressures to conform by both family and society to meet the binary standards of sex and gender remain a life-long source of trauma for transgender and intersex people. Being both intersex and a transgender woman, Graffam felt she continuously failed to rise to the expectations of boyhood and reflects on that tension through painterly abstraction and color associations.”
