Join us for Found in Translation, a show by Elizabeth Lancaster at Terrain Gallery. This show is Elizabeth’s way of processing connections to her father and his family’s immigration experience. These images are inspired by stories told by her father, memories of he and his family, and their life as emigrants from Mexico. The body of work is born from questions that surround her own story – what it means to hold ties to so much culture and history and yet only know her heritage through what is translated by her family. Using watercolor, Elizabeth learned to weave in her own visual perspective, adding bold hues and patterns to juxtapose her father’s black and white stories of poverty, hardship, commitment to family, and faith. This series of watercolors are both joyful and somber, colorful and achromatic. Just the way the images of his stories and her heritage play out in her head.

On View: September 4th – September 26th
