Description:

"Traces from Off the Beaten Path" offers a glimpse into the guarded aspects of identity; how every experience, instance of doubt, or moment of pain defines who we are today. These experiences are meant to be difficult. We tried to hide them growing up, grappled with them our entire lives, and still struggle with how to either embrace these aspects or completely shut them out. We all have that story inside of us, with each day a new page engraved into our essence. What makes us, us.

Though we all have individual means of communicating our stories, "Traces from Off the Beaten Path" aims to explore those chapters we oft-not wear on our sleeves; how every stroke on the canvas and bend in the sculpture traces its roots from deep down the artist's self. It reveals something, everything, about who we are. This exhibit invites you to tell your story, investigating the past and exploring each artist's unseen identity.
