Scent has always been like breadcrumbs of memories, where a single breath paints us a scene of emotions and allows us to relive an experience. Visual artist Pat Frades incites such an exploration in the first leg of her five-part exhibition series of the senses entitled “I. Self-Medicate: Breathe In.”
Frades, whose transfigured mushroom artworks come in collaboration with the candles made by Anne Cortez and with a costume of symbolic decay made by KC Contrevida, shares her love of nature through scents and elements of the earth. She allows her intimate series of stoneware artworks to stimulate ubiquity in memories: to be in a renewed present state while breathing in the sentiments of the past.
