Work in this exhibit is centered on the precariousness of our emotions and the illusions that create them, whether they are self made or imposed by others. The theme was inspired by gang culture with it’s self imposed mantra to “smile now, cry later” and prevalent tattoo of theater masks.

In Stitches: Smile Now, Cry Later

5/13 - 6/4/11

This multidisciplinary exhibit explores the temporality, influence and illusions surrounding our emotions. Some illusions we build ourselves, while others are imposed. Either way, there is an eventuality to any emotion we cling to in comfort. That eventuality is waiting for us around the corner to flip our world on it's head.
