Artist reception for Uncharted, a solo exhibition by local artist Ana Perez-McKay at the Depot Gallery inside the historic Sparks railroad depot.

This body of work uses multiples and combinations of discarded and sentimentally valuable materials, especially reused textile and fiber, to introduce conflicting notions of memory, truth, and meaning. A fiber series is displayed parallel to a paper series, where sister iterations of the same object relate and reflect. The “double” objects are different and the same, ambiguous in sequence (is paper a mockup for quilt? Does quilt inspire documentation on paper?) and use color, shape, and hand crocheted lace detail in physical form and printed impression to refer to the same simple decorative imagery drawn from private experiences and memories.
