SISSY! | Scarlett Sensi

GLOSSDRESS is the product of Scarlett’s kinky imagination and desire to create a safe space where crossdressers across the spectrum can explore their fantasies without judgment, either visually or fully immersed. Sissy! pays homage to those who brazenly show their true colors, especially when they go against social norms.

DEAR YOU | Ruby T. Lopez Rios

Ruby T. Lopez Rios (she/her/hers) is a Puerto Rican poet and visual artist that works with a fusion of mixed media such as acrylic paint, charcoal, textiles, and poetry. Her artwork acts as an outlet to understand the surreal nature of life’s absurdity and explores the finite nature of not only life and interpersonal relations, but culture and struggles of disenfranchised people.

This show examines writing within the process of our sculptural work. Displaying this work together illuminates our concepts and research, contextualizing the various ways in which we produce as individuals and accomplices. In constructing these written works parallel to one another this spring, our perspectives have merged, coalesced, and coagulated to assemble this collection.

Years of exploration with paint have led Eveline Luppi’s journey to create work that is technically challenging and visually inspiring to the viewer. Her work draws from the tradition of the Russian Constructivist Movement and Dutch Neoplasticism; her vocabulary is based on geometric techniques, where memory and experience are rendered as deeply structured space, full of passionate transitions and juxtapositions. The use of color is central to her work, evoking emotional states and bringing the viewer to a unified perception of the symbolic content.

Eveline Luppi’s work is both highly emotional and emblematic of the complexities of contemporary life. She is committed to self-discovery and makes her personal narrative accessible to the viewer.
