Carry Very Little considers an observation Arundhati Roy made in a 2020 essay regarding post-pandemic life, “It is a portal…we can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudices and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world”.
As If displays paintings by Lakshmi Muirhead that embody the exploration of art without limitations or bounds. As If satisfies an audience of one—the artist themself—to revel in the process of making.
In There is Always a Before, Lakshmi Muirhead continues her deep exploration into concepts of maternity, race, family, internal tethers, language, constructs, freedom and exclusion.
