Using experimental analog processes, both Daura Campos and Grace Wang explore the ways in which their individual phenomenology informs their relationship to space, the idea of 'home,' and its physical and emotional realms. The artists' differing lived experiences provide invaluable insight as they grapple with notions of the in-between, belonging, and safe spaces. Rooted in identity as it relates to space during a global pandemic, each artist seeks to explore the intersection between memory and emotion, their parallels, and dynamic interplay. 

Daura Campos' Secret Visibility is an intimate exploration in which the artist uses experimental film processing techniques as a means of resisting traditional art practices and hegemonic ideologies as they relate to gender and sexuality. Using images of domestic spaces that are later soaked in a mixture of site-specific ingredients, the artist creates bruise-like compositions. These works speak to one's home being a potentially unsafe or violent space for marginalized community members, an issue further exacerbated by the pandemic. 

Grace Wang's introspective series entitled Trace depicts her search for connection and a sense of purpose during this period of global uncertainty. Using analog processes to connect to a perceived truth and the natural world, the artist emphasizes the tension between a state of daydreaming and reality. Grace's playful yet melancholic images trace the push and pull of the human condition.
