AS THE SUN WOUNDS THE SHADOWS traces the relationship between printed matter and queer memory, history, collectivity, liberation, and loss. The exhibition suggests printed matter as a facilitator, witness, and residue of gay desire. Through various methods of collage, fragmentation, repetition, and assemblage, the work ultimately blurs the juncture at which the personal and collective memory meet – but does not erase the seams. Synthesizing several parallel and intersecting bodies of work, including printmaking, photography, and performance, the exhibition ruminates on a longing for an interconnectedness to queer histories and pasts, often lingering in the shadows.
