WITHIN
DARRYL DEMPS JR. + BRIE HENDERSON + NATHAN SING
July 31 - sept 4, 2023
“Within is a group exhibition that explores overcoming lifelong challenges of self worth and forming a solid sense of identity. The work reflects our individual lifelong journeys of self love that comes with time spent choosing yourself first. Taking self worth out of others hands and into their own. This narrative is portrayed differently in each of their work, but comes together in a way that feels whimsical or dreamlike to the viewer. The group exhibition Within documents traces of these experiences that come with embracing oneself while living life in a constant state of change or realization.”
