"The Paintings Everything Crossed and Nothing Up My Sleeve carry an everydayness to feeling lucky. They represent a tangible, touchable feeling given to school clothes framed by the absence of the body. In each uniform, the exquisite corpse of a lucky shirt or only skirt serves as an embodied vessel across a string of memories—a novelty for moments lost and the comfort against the challenges of change. The works aim to share my peculiar cultural understanding of fortune as remnant articles of clothing from my past, hinting at a luckier time—a reminder of the comforts of belonging." -Ziui Chen

- "Come Out and Play", Child Portrait, Chicago transport, Acrylic on found woodLocated in Philadelphia, PA"Come Out and Play" is an original piece by Qiaira Riley made from acrylic paint on found wood. This piece measures measures 24"h x 14"w unframed. "Inspired by the changing visual landscape of my hometown of Chicago, I created these works to explore how the gentrification of the south-side disrupts intimate, private memories associated with public spaces in the name of urban "renewal," even creating commodifiable opportunities to make community memories public and profitable, yet not sacred. I was attending a suburban private liberal arts college; many classmates often seemed obsessed with fantastical, cheap narratives about my community and the folks in it that deeply contrasted the memories of love and care I had grown up with. These works remember and reclaim these spaces while showing off my favorite public treasures, sights, and delicacies. There are also odes to the sweet parts of my adolescence that I hope urban development will not shift: running around the city with my father, who has worked for the Chicago Park District for over 25 years, my mom getting me a 6 piece from Harold's Chicken whenever I got a good report card, or stopping by Zberry, the city's first black-woman owned froyo shop to get a treat after school. I moved to Philadelphia that same year with just two suitcases, my art supplies storage...Category

"Scattered throughout the hustle and bustle of concrete life, like pools among the rocks, are the parks and squares that provide us with a place to breathe and a time to think. It is a fundamental need of a sane society to be able to stop once in a while and wander from the routine, lift our heads and look at the sky or take in our regular surroundings with a fresh insight.” “Sitting on the top deck of a London bus, I let my mind stroll over the lives of the people on the street, they obtain new life stories; I’m placing myself in their shoes...Category
