Our second to last artist to highlight is Mariana Varela!

A Mexican artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area whose practice centers on ceramics extending into photography and illustration. Her sculptural work exists within magical realism, where flowers, animals, humans, and fantastical beings become metaphors for thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences. Varela explores love, chronic illness, nostalgia, migration, and time, inviting viewers to build their own narratives through symbolism, storytelling, and imaginative forms.

Get tickets to join us for the opening of our Indigenous Peoples’ Day Convergence TONIGHT at the @cincycac !

This Friday, October 9 from 5 to 9pm The Chapel of Becoming opens at The Lab in San Francisco.

On Saturday, October 10 at 1pm, I will be in conversation with Jack Halberstam at The Lab, preceded by a poetry reading by Cameron Awkward-Rich in partnership with the Trans Negativity Symposium organized by Simon(e) Van Saarloos & Be Schierenberg.

Excited to bring this work to life. After two years of making tiles, studying the forms and architecture and filming, it’s finally ready.

Thank you to The Lab, my amazing studio assistants Hunter Taylor-Black (@htaylorblk) and Mariana Varela (@oneslowdance_ ), Colin Dickson, Joel Frank (@j.d.frank), Isabel Johnson (@izzy00j), Anthony Russell (@antonio_californio), Andrew Smith for helping to bring this together. Thank you to the amazing film crew, Chani Bockwinkel (@chanibocks), Jon Sun (@jon.sun), Mari Aguilar, and Kate Rhoades (@kaaaaate).
