A culmination of work created over a year, Holding Space is a mixed-media show that reflects one woman's journey to find a sense of spaciousness in a world of overwhelming sensation and activity. Iterative symbology pervades paintings, woolen vessels, and larger tapestries. Viewers will have the opportunity to question what they hold and how to let go.
