Home, Do You Remember Me, Home

Home, Do You Remember Me, Home explores the quiet complexity of an emerging sense of self in relation to the effects of time and space. Works in the exhibition records the shifting intimate spaces as well as the larger social and cultural environments as the artist, Chenxi Gao, moved from one home to another, from rural to urban, and from China to the United States. Gao layers and manipulates materials to discover dualities such as concealing versus revealing, safety versus restriction, and staying versus fleeing. The works visually echo her thoughts: Where do I come from? What do I do with my memories? Where am I going? The works ask questions without necessarily providing the answers.”
