Swoon – George
Work in the exhibition may be seen here.
In a moment when contemporary art often holds a conflicted relationship to beauty, the work of Caledonia Curry (a.k.a. Swoon) carries with it an earnestness, treating the beautiful as sublime even as she explores the darker sides of her subjects. Her work has become known for marrying the whimsical to the grounded, often weaving in slivers of fairy-tales, scraps of myth, and a recurring motif of the sacred feminine. Tendrils of her own family history—and a legacy of her parents’ struggles with addiction and substance abuse—recur throughout her work.
