blueblack | Lela Pierce
Bockley Gallery is pleased to open blueblack, a solo exhibition by Lela Pierce that continues her decades-long practice attuning with and expanding her body’s ways of carrying memory and relating to time, place, and kin.
With blueblack, Pierce honors depths of the Middle Passage and discomforts of ancestral estrangement through acts of grieving and conjuring. The exhibition’s duochromatic space comprises a multimedia wall installation, indigo panels, sculptures, and paintings on paper. Charged with and offering space for liberatory imagination, Pierce’s new body of work invokes the profound dimensionality of uncountable counting, virtues of sacred geometry, and choreographies of indeterminacy.
