About the Item
This piece titled "I Give Myself Grace Now" is an original painting by Sarah Detweiler and is made from oil paint, recycled fiber packing material, crochet thread, acrylic mirror tiles on canvas with acrylic painted edges. This piece measures 48”h x 36”w and ships with a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
In Unmasquerade, Detweiler positively redefines the ADHD term of masking as a purposeful and playful act, as her figures wear novelty sunglasses, fur suits, and mosaic cloaks in dreamy settings. In I Give Myself Grace Now, Detweiler creates a self-portrait of her lying down in a field of laundry arranged in a spectrum, embellished with mirror fragments and embroidery radiating from her body. Detweiler uses laundry as a metaphorical device throughout the exhibition–representing the executive dysfunction many with ADHD face daily–but in this piece she indulges in a moment of bliss before she tackles the seemingly never-ending house chore. Detweiler explains, “I realized that despite the diagnosis,the metamorphosis that I came out of, I was still very much the same. I was not ‘healed’, ‘fixed’, or anything like that, but now I saw the beauty in the things that I used to shame myself for. I've learned how to give myself grace.” Instead of seeing ADHD as a new identity, Detweiler is now been given the most profound understanding of herself to date.

Located in Philadelphia, PA
"An Invasion" is a piece by Qiaira Riley made from acrylic paint and beads on found wood. This piece measures measures 24"h x 24"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...
