Jeremy Denis and Paula Hayes use very different artistic strategies to express care, caring and repair especially as
it relates to their own cultural and artistic sensibilities. In his work Rise, to be presented in the gallery, Dennis uses
digital photography to repair the known history of indigenous peoples as it is presented in Hollywood Films. As he
states “My images question and disrupt the post-colonial narrative that dominates in film and media and results in
damaging stereotypes, such as the “noble savage” depictions in Disney’s Pocahontas.” Playing with recognizable
zombie film and TV show iconography, ‘Rise’ highlights parallels between the apocalyptic rising undead and
popular misinformation of indigenous people as a vanished race.”
Paula Hayes takes a different tactical maneuver to explore the concerns of pantheism, shamanism and vitalism
that weave there way into contemporary culture as a means of creating a new humanistic vocabulary at odds with
our overwhelming digital culture. This digitality has never been more intense then in our time of the Covid
pandemic. Her long involvement with mothering, holding touching and engaging goes back to the beginning of this
century and have resurfaced in her recent textile practice, to be exhibited at C.A.R.E. LTD. in such work as
Chasing, 2020. Using hand woven wool, cotton and cashmere the whimsy of the work connotes mythological spirits
in their primal form. In a recent email she has stated the following, “In the garden for the pollinators I tend, I gather
up the sun and the minerals, and take it all to the loom. Children, who need us, as mothers, and we, who need
them as stars, are in the warp and weft of the robes. Protection, adoring love, fecundity….”

C.A.R.E. LTD. is the creation of Warren Neidich. It emphasizes work that redefines the notions of love, solidarity
and collectivity in these difficult times, and asks the question: Can art find an answer for the current divisions that
are breaking us apart? It is a small space located adjacent to his studio which can be viewed from outside or
entered directly.
Visitors are required to wear masks and respect social distancing.
