Between Us is a group exhibition that focuses on fiber works exploring the Red String Theory from East Asian mythology.

While this philosophy proposes that our fates are intertwined, connected with an invisible thread, the many layers of history that bind us sometimes become an obstacle, leading to a frayed relationship. With so many things dividing us in this current moment, how can we go about mending these differences to come back together? Are we able to sever the threads that no longer serve us, and can we break generational patterns we are tied to? Between Us is an invitation to sit with these questions and reflect on all the ways we find connection in an increasingly entangled world.

The emphasis on fiber is to capture the invisible in a way that is both tactile and layered. A single thread by itself may lack purpose, but the warp and weft of many threads together remind us that we need each other to make us whole.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS


Kat Cheng
(she/her) has endless and tender curiosity for the human experience and the natural world. Sometimes her brain and hands cooperate enough to make work about them.

Karyn Lao (she/her) is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY who explores the pompom as an object that represents community— many parts connected by a common thread. She combines sculpted pompoms and glass into colorful, functional statement pieces. She also makes interactive inflatable sculptures as ½ of collaborative duo, Mookntaka! Whether it be sculpting inflatables, creating jewelry, or teaching workshops, the heart of Karyn’s work is to bring people together and connect through play.

Marisha Lozada (she/they) is a Brooklyn-based artist who explores the reliability of memory with fragmented, embellished, and annotated personal histories. They work across textiles, painting, woodcarving, and bookmaking to examine relationships with gender, adolescence, romance, and religious veneration.

(they/them) builds interactive human-centered creations and experiences. They’re a multi-media artist, archiving “trash,” metal, ceramics, and textiles to explore whether discarded objects can fulfill societal needs and disrupt what is deemed valuable.

Jia Sung
(she/her) is a Singaporean Chinese artist and educator whose practice centers marginalized stories through a syncretic, narrative-driven approach shaped by immigrant experience. Working across artist books, printmaking, painting, translation, and textiles, Sung reinterprets shared archives of mythology and family history through a personal, contemporary lens.
