Tending Disorder | Michelle Westmark Wingard

The exhibition explores perceived control and re-imagines the possibility of reordering broken systems and elevating care. With all of the anxiety that many of us carry around the polycrises of our time – this act of re-ordering is a way of considering care and intentionality as an act of resistance.
