Unfolding from personal experience and environmental rupture, Town Without Pity uses the suitcase to drift between collapse and containment.
This sensation of inhabiting past and future negotiates vulnerability, exploring suitcases as vessels of the body, capturing the diaristic narratives of intimacy and transition.
Town Without Pity is a solo exhibition, curated by Chaz Scott and accompanied text by London-based Rose Higham-Stainton and Los Angeles-based Angella d’Avignon.
