Presence
IRL Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio
February 2 - February 23, 2018

Presence is a collection of works that contemplate the connection between bodies across multiple platforms. Each piece is an attempt at intimacy in the form of limited reception, reaching for a fantasy that clips when grasped. What results is an investigation of game-space, faux-medievalism, and a solitudinous performativity for the screen.
