“I’m new to everything outside,” Gabby Prado writes in her notes as she looks back and tries to make sense of her memories of navigating the chaos and madness of the world as a young adult. Reflecting on these struggles, the solo exhibition “Plant What You Memorize” will feature works that somehow parallel these contemplations through her approach to abstraction.
>From paintings to objects, Prado guides us to understand the links between our vulnerabilities and our truths. We plant strength to liberate ourselves from familiar and unfamiliar chains. Thus, we begin from what we already know—like plants waiting to be watered and tended so we can grow.
