POP…Propaganda
Public Reception
| April 15 from 4–6 PM
Exhibitions on view April 14–18
Artist's Statement: My work is about how images shape what we believe, how we see ourselves, and how those ideas stick with us over time. I use visual language I call Neo-Propaganda Pop to look at how persuasive imagery works and why it’s so powerful in contemporary culture.
Each piece is built intentionally, somewhere between design, painting, and cultural memory. I work with acrylic, mixed media, collage, and digital tools, keeping things graphic and direct while still letting the materials do some of the talking. I usually work with limited color palettes, often referencing colors tied to mass communication, then pushing or shifting those relationships as the idea evolves.
At the core, the work comes from ongoing questions about belief, vulnerability, and loss. Figures often appear isolated, mirrored, or suspended in symbolic spaces, inviting viewers to slow down, look closer, and question what images are asking them to accept or overlook.

KAT CARCOBA
(Sculpture, MFA)
Eternidad
Public Reception
| April 15 from 4–6 PM
Exhibitions on view April 14–18
Artist's Statement: Kathleen Carcoba is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculptural and spatial forms to explore memory, identity, and material. Her practice engages performance and theatrical language to investigate the body as a site of trauma, resilience, and transformation. Informed by the writings of Louise Bourgeois, Judith Butler and Jacques Lacan her work examines fragmentation, desire, and instability of the self. Working with materials such as wax, plaster, fabric, aluminum, ceramics, and foam, Carcoba explores a reflection of the body as both surface and structure, something that conceals as much as it receives. The materials themselves guide the form allowing her to embrace imperfections and chance as means of accessing the subconscious. In doing so, sculpture becomes a site where she processes identity and memory as something that continuously shifts and reforms.
