New Exhibition, Crear Studio’s fist visiting artist:

What We Leave / What We Take

Rebecca Gonzales

June 3-August 5. 2023

We experience love and pain in our body, we hold history in our body, secrets and memories and joys in our body. The installation asks, "What is it?" and "where did you put it?"

Inspired by the trauma work of Bessel van der Kolk in The Body Keeps the Score and Resmaa Menakem's My Grandmother's Hands, experimental artist Rebecca Gonzales created a site-specific paper installation of her own body from a collection of words and stories, history, images and poems collected throughout her life. The audience is invited to contemplate the story of their body in a handmade wood and cloth confessional booth transcending life experiences through poetry on demand.
