A Series of Completely Accurate Self Portraits
Brittany Walker Smith
A Series of Completely Accurate Self Portraits starts from an interest in fantasy as a way of making things more bearable. The figures in these works are not direct portraits, but closer to what appears when a moment is remembered or replayed – adjusted, stylised, slightly improved. They are me, but not exactly me. They could just as easily be you. That slippage feels important. The fiction is deliberate. It offers a version of events that is often more interesting, and easier to sit with, than whatever actually happened. Coping through aesthetic.
Painted on velvet and framed with faux fur, rhinestones, and patterned surfaces, the works lean into glamour and excess without trying to stabilise the image. The scenes feel familiar but don’t fully land. Things are pushed a bit too far, or not explained enough.
Nothing here is trying to resolve into something accurate in a literal sense. Instead, the works hold onto a version that has been edited, embellished, and kept at a slight distance, something constructed, but not entirely separate either.

A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies
Antonia Barnett McIntosh
A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies reflects on an in-between state of the live and the documented dwelling in one’s mind and body-
[hm, yeah, the form is whole though.. consider the Mountain Apple Moss, or a low E]:
a conceptual landscape of collections — of people, pursuits, memories, and objects we choose to live with and which choose us.
A sound installation comprises speech and field recordings, traversing time, material, the body, motion, mapping, overheard snippets, and some exploratory natural history.
