Deep Cuts - Solo exhibition from Rhonda Barrett

On April 11, 2023 a phone call from Barrett's Mother and best friend left a deep cut in the foundation of memories that makes Barrett who she is. By May 09, 28 days later, her Mother had succumbed to her surprise liver cancer diagnosis, 4 weeks after receiving it. Less than 6 weeks later, her maternal Grandmother also passed, from lung cancer. 

​

This body of work explores the anger, frustration, guilt, shock and deep sadness that has left it's marks forever on Barrett. Using the medium of collage as a way to physically and emotionally work through the losses, the decollage artworks can be seen moving from manic and angry hacks to more controlled and accepting slices. 

​

We all experience life changing moments and this exhibition is a representation of one person moving through a depression using art and figuring out what is left to the layers of themselves.

​

An opening reception will be held April 12, Friday, from 6-9pm.
