UnSettled

UnSettled brings together the work of Brandi Kole and Rock CYFI Martinez. Working across a variety of mediums including fiber, aerosol, canvas, and found objects, the duo explores the tension between opposing forces, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of duality, the complexity of human identity, and the pursuit of stability.

UnSettled explores both artists' experiences with continued transition. Kole and Martinez excavate their emotional attachments to place and examine what it means to balance individual identity within the context of community. Pushing the boundaries of form in their respective mediums, Martinez and Kole embrace the pursuit of continual evolution in their ever ephemeral existences.

This exhibition provides an intimate look into the lives of Brandi Kole and Rock Martinez as they move through transitional states on a quest to find refuge in a world that is increasingly chaotic. This show provides viewers with a sense of their beginnings and current states, highlighting a balance of present observations interlaced with the tug of nostalgia while searching for emotional connection in their continually-changing surroundings .
