In Character
“The greatest battle we face as human beings is the battle to protect our true selves from the self the world wants us to become.” -- e.e. cummings
In Character explores the physical and psychological masks we wear and how these versions of ourselves overlap and diverge as we navigate our relationships with others. The exhibition features a new body of work by Amanda Linn McInerney, complemented by works from Veronica Ceci, Rodell Warner and Michael Villarreal. Working in a variety of 2D and 3D media, each artist provides a unique stance on perception of the self. These perspectives can be contradictory or complementary, encapsulating a range of emotions like confusion, grief, duplicity, and empowerment.
