Holding Pattern

A solo exhibition of sculptural and animated works by Samael Leopold-Sullivan

What comes after the collapse of a self? Samael Leopold-Sullivan draws inspiration from their recurrent dreams of being haunted by a house, along with their lived experience as a non-binary person. Works included in this show are made of silicone, glass, lead, and light.  There will be light refreshments available at the reception on June 11th.
