Friends and Lovers explores the subtleties of intimacy, foregrounding quiet moments typically shared privately among couples and small groups. Lingering on these moments, the exhibition uncovers the power, promise, and fantasy inherent to such deep partnerships.
Presented in a salon-style with artworks dramatically ranging in scale, Friends and Lovers invokes the manner that family photographs and ephemera are often encountered in a domestic setting. Together, the works uncover the senses of longing and delicate connections in romantic, familial, and platonic relationships, allowing the affirmations of friends and lovers to place otherworldly dreams within the realm of possibility.
