Risograph Poster for Abigail Beach’s solo exhibition.
As seen by writer Lauren Brown
Despite being engulfed in sadness; through the bitter persistence of joy; we observe an artist’s journey to self-actualization. Amid the pandemic-imposed crisis of introspection, we witness a woman sifting through the murky waters of her past to find herself, to be reborn in all her sweet, sticky glory.
The twisted, saturated strokes on canvas give us both aerial and up-close views of the duality she feels between her past and present. These thick lines and muddy colors are the artist’s struggle to break free of her colonized, Christian past and salvage the pieces to recreate something new, something her own.
Behold a woman’s determination to persevere through murky mythology; to move with a conviction one can only attribute to the insistence of her ancestors; to dive into unknown birth water, in the hopes that only through this scraping of the self can Bitter waters [be] made Sweet.
