Memories and Narrative

Here are the new works that are going into Rebecca Roth's Gallery in Salamanca.


Each edition varies in this series, where some etchings have more colour than others.

Framed: $275
Unframed: $150



This exhibition explores small narratives of a homeland in regards to memories and the unconsciousness. Based on my travels to Europe, these works aim to express sensations of nostalgia derived through Polish diasporic experience. Dealing with migration and the struggles of cultural hybridity, the cage, mannequin, architecture and bird become vessels of the past. This romantic notion, accentuated through melancholy sepia tones, has become an outlet to discover history and heritage, with the wistful desire to return to a former time and place.
