Lorie Hamermesh - Desire/Shame — Gallery NAGA | Contemporary Art Gallery Boston

Lorie Hamermesh: Desire/Shame

On View: September 7 – October 2, 2021
Reception: Friday, September 7, 6 – 8pm
Walk-through: Saturday, September 18, 2pm

Desire and shame: layers that find themselves both separate and unyieldingly pressed together in human experience. Lorie Hamermesh grants the viewer an opportunity to look into these complicated and sometimes painful themes with beauty and a sense of compassion. The work is a reminder that the swinging pendulum of opposing feelings may not have to be feared, but can be investigated and shared with generosity and open arms.
- Cameron Barker
