Sala Diaz is happy to announce the new date for the opening of Threads & After Shocks, featuring the artwork of Kim Bishop. The exhibition will open with a public reception on Friday, March 3, 2023, from 6–9pm at Sala Diaz. This event is free and open to the public.
You go through this whole life marching for change—trying to change things and then the aftershock slaps you in the face when you realize you’re right back where you started, or so you think. According to Carl Jung, we live in the entanglement of the past, present and future; a collective consciousness he called “a sympathy for all things.” This is why Bishop draws with her Grandmother’s thread (literally and metaphorically), the continuous line of her path, as she journeys through a world that seems familiar but is not. The drawings and drawing processes in this exhibition are a way for Bishop to navigate the social condition of her time in her constant endeavor to measure the standards that determine her worth.
