Lara Americo’s solo art show, Chrysalis, will be be at C3 Lab, 2525 Distribution Street, from January 6th, 2017, to January 23rd, and an opening event is scheduled for Friday, January 6th, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The exhibit will feature 10 photos of various body parts that are significant to the subject as well as a quote from the person and several items from their life. There will also be 3d molds of different subjects. As a sub-gallery, there will be a another photo project Americo created called Trans and Queer at work which features 10 different trans and queer individuals at their work place.
Skin and bones are a cocoon for the soul to develop and grow on planet Earth. Chrysalis sheds that shell and peers into what’s hidden beneath.
Chrysalis is an exploration of what it means to inhabit a human body. It is common to assume that we are our bodies. Our bodies are a shell and our true selves are much more than human flesh. Chrysalis examines this flesh and what if means to navigate the world in these bodies using photography and 3-D molding. Each photo and 3-d mold will examine one subject and tell that person’s story.
