From the Press Release:

“The first time I called myself a 'Witch' was the most magical moment of my life.”
― Margot Adler, Drawing Down the Moon: Witches, Druids, Goddess-Worshippers, and Other Pagans in America

Yes, I’m a Witch explores feminism, the witch trials, and the mysticism and folklore surrounding witches. Taken from Yoko Ono’s 1974 song entitled, Yes, I’m a Witch, the exhibition is an ode to the strong woman who goes against societal norms, the woman that owns her power and sexuality and challenges the patriarchy. Exuding feminine strength wasn’t acceptable then, and it’s not acceptable now. The desire to punish is prevalent today. A coven of thirteen artists, whom all originate from different background and interests will be working in a variety of media.

The exhibition, titled  How to carry a cloud,  includes a series of new paintings that explore hidden sources of water in the desert landscape. Rivas uses clouds and creosote bushes as metaphors for the interconnected sources of life-giving moisture in arid regions. Both reflect water stored in the land and the air, deceptively close and yet inaccessible. Cloud forms appear across several works, oscillating between pattern and landscape. As above, so below- creosote in its various forms appear as a familiar and familial plant speaking to the artists’ connection to the desert landscape, her family has lived in the borderlands since t...

Franz Kline: In Color

Franz Kline (1910-1962) is often pigeonholed as a "black and white" painter. Above is a selection of work by the Ab-Ex master in which color merges with gesture and at times takes center stage.
