All That Remains: Material Remembrances in Love and Loss brings together three artists who have expressed reactions to the loss of loved ones through art. For these artists, the process and actualization of art-making renders the evanescent body eternal, memorializing the otherwise apparently absent one(s). Here material acts of artistic production have created remembrance and rebirth in times of mourning These artists present work in varied media—an inflatable, plasticized Buddha; large-scale portrait paintings; and pastel drawings on paper—to respond to the immediacy of death and the pain of loss and to assert connection in the face of mortality. The artists assembled in this exhibition are all Native American from indigenous nations in California, and their works reflect their diverse spiritual traditions and artistic influences.
