August 19th-August 24th
Opening Reception: August 19th 3pm-6pm
Artist Talk: August 24th at 2pm
The upcoming exhibition, “Out of the Strong, Something Sweet”, will include both balloon sculptures and some very large paintings, which delve into the artist's experience growing up in The Family International, the cult formally known as The Children of God.
On display in print is the first part of their Samson series, which depicts their struggle with the isolation and alienation of being brought up home-schooled with an ideology of elitist separation from the world, and the struggle to break down the barriers that resulted from that.
The centerpiece sculpture of the show is the 2nd part in the Samson series, in which they wrestles with their family legacy while also taking steps to appreciate the wonder and joy that they experienced throughout their unconventional childhood.
This exhibition, funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance, and hosted by The Jung Center of Houston, Texas, will be a living, breathing exhibition, featuring a balloon environment that will change and grow throughout the week. So please come by to see work with a unique medium and don’t miss their talk on the final day!
