A Small Good Thing
Michaela Lucio
February 16 - March 26, 2022
Reception: Spring Mini Art Crawl March 25th, 2022 6-9 PM

Fleeting moments and ghostly memories, all fade away without mindful attention.  'A Small Good Thing' dives into an imagined history dreamed from photographs out-of family albums, predominantly from the childhood of the artist's mother. Considering the digital revolution's impact on families and the fragility of memory, this exhibition looks to slow down and explore the complicated tenderness of family life. Like a wisp of air, charged with emotion, it is all about the small good things.
