On Windows (2022), a trio exhibition at 934 Gallery

“In Windows, an exhibition of two- and three-dimensional work based on interpretations of the idea of “collage,” artists Brielle DuFlon, Sri Kodakalla, and Madeleine Rhondeau-Rhodes utilize three books featuring textiles, street photography, and architecture from the places that have respectively shaped them—Guatemala, India and Virginia.

In this exhibition, the artists share an impulse to create windows into their own worlds, constructing compositions that transport the viewer into the artists’ interior. Exploring themes of home, belonging, and place, Windows speaks to the artists’ commitment to drawing connections between their narratives, reflecting on not only their creative influences on each other, but also their support of one another in their artistic endeavors.

Windows asks the viewer to delve deeper into their own stories, allowing visitors to peer into the real, or imagined, worlds of the artists and interweave the relationships of their personal histories. This exhibition acknowledges the “alien” in all of us that longs for the intangible feeling of home, only derived through the connections we build with those around us.”

Kodakalla’s contribution to the exhibition showcased 17 collages and 2 fiber mixed-media artworks adapted from collages. Some of the works are on view here; all of the works from the exhibition are on the gallery’s website here.
