The exhibition 'Infinite Possibilities' at Patricia Reser Center for the Arts focuses on the material of paper, highlighting its complex cultural associations and versatility. Featuring artists who identify as American Asian Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islanders (AAHNPI), the show examines how paper can embody memories and histories, prompting visitors to question the nature of the material itself. Key works like Sandra Honda's 'Love (not hate) Heals' illustrate these themes, using delicate paper structures to explore ideas of resilience and identity. Together, the artists challenge traditional perceptions of paper in both practical and artistic dimensions.
"Through questioning and experimentation, the eleven regional and international artists in Infinite Possibilities explore the symbolic, formal, and aesthetic properties of this medium to reclaim paper as an act of resilience and defiance."
"It's a material with many cultural associations. In the US alone, 'paper' is slang for money, and 'the paper' refers to an increasingly rare analog way of getting news."
