Adorned
Identity, Ritual & Transformation
A group show featuring the work of Gerardo Castro, Lori Field, Danielle Scott and Holly Suzanne Rader
November 14 – January 18
Opening reception is Sunday November 16, from 2 – 5pm
This exhibition explores the concept of “adornment” as a profound act of identity, ritual, and transformation. Moving far beyond simple decoration, these three artists utilize embellishment as a language to tell stories, build worlds, and reveal the sacred.
Adorned invites you into a space of layered meaning: from the spiritually charged, glittering icons of Castro’s Afro-Caribbean dreamscapes, to the fantastical, tattooed hybrids of Field’s mythic realities, and the politically potent, assembled identities of Scott’s cultural portraits. This collection is a visual feast of texture, color, and narrative, asking us what it means to be adorned—by culture, by memory, by magic, and by choice.
The Adorned MarketSpace will also run this holiday season, in support and celebration of the local hand crafted economy.
