A CURATED COLLECTION BY MARIE CRAIG

The New Nostalgia

These days, with mundane freedoms temporarily off-limits, it’s tempting to reminisce, to dwell on rosy ephemeral memories of a better time. The ways we remember affect us as we experience the uncomfortable present and forge ahead into an uncertain future.

For artists Brenda Cirioni, Patty deGrandpre, Chelsea Revelle, Alexandra Rozenman, Rebecca Skinner, Sylvia Vander Sluis, the past is a reservoir, a repository of joy and pain in a complex relationship with our own private histories. Their work illuminates the cracks in the veneer of idealized past emotions and experiences and creates space for us to re-examine our relationship with the past and inform our experience of the present.
