ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Alchemical continues Kristy Gordon's exploration of fantastical worlds. In a spirit both feminist and punk, this body of work challenges divisions between high art, decoration, and illustration. Like an alchemist she combines elements to create new narratives. These works, interweave motifs from disparate genres and periods to create temporally ambiguous settings for strange and surprising interactions among people, animals, and hybrid creatures.
In the foreground are power relations and vulnerability of the individual body and psyche. Gordon is reflecting on the pervasive role of violence in our socio-political sphere.
