Please join us for the opening reception of Half-Life, a captivating exhibit featuring artists Madeline Lee, Matthew Okazaki and Maria Fong. The works on view include painting, mixed media collage, photographs, and installation.
Exhibit Statement:
Often used to describe radioactive or chemical decay, the term “half-life” takes on alternate meanings through other interpretations presented by three artists: Matthew Okazaki, Madeline Lee, and Maria Fong. “Half-life” interpretations include: decay, both material and non-material; what happens in half a life; a measurement of time linked to fundamental change; halving of identity; being counterpart to something that once existed.
Applied to scenes of everyday life, objects of resilience, rituals, and processes of making, the artists explore making meaning out of the passage of time, forging new understandings of ourselves and what makes us whole - or sometimes, just half.
