September 22 - November 3, 2023
From Lanecia Rouse Tinsley Gallery:
“Con Cariño which translates to “with love” or “with care,” is an homage to my parents who abandoned their homeland in search of a brighter future for their family. The accompanying pieces weave together fragments of their journey and the various forms of labor they undertook to provide their children with the opportunities they were denied.
Central to my practice, is the use of chisels and punches, which wield a dual significance in this body of work. The physicality of using the chisel mirrors the repetitive and labor-intensive endeavors of my parents. While the level of skill, precision, and care required to produce these delicate designs serve as a visual representation of my love and admiration for their sacrifices.
Ultimately, Con Cariño is a tribute to my parents who have toiled tirelessly in search of “El Sueño Americano”.”
