in between you and me
August 29 - September 30, 2024 at Warren G. Flowers Gallery
in between you and me is a solo exhibition of select works by Vancouver-based emerging artist Cassia Powell.
This body of work develops themes exploring what writer Gavin Butt refers to as a ‘social activity which produces and maintains the filiations of the artistic community,’ namely – gossip. Using soft-sculptures and oil paintings, in between you and me explores intimacy, vulnerability, story-telling, and worldbuilding through painting and fibres-based installation. Approaching gossip as a form of unconventional art history, or an inescapable feature of metropolitan artistic life, and exhibiting it through a queer, quotidian, affective visual approach.
