Having lived most of the her life separated by great distances from loved ones, the existence of heirlooms has been of great comfort to Anna Mavromatis, a substitute for their absence, a reminder of the bonds connecting us, meaningful talismans guiding her through each day’s paths of joy and drama. Books, untouched items from forgotten trousseaus, correspondence and photos of unknown relatives, traditions, rituals, family lore, and history, all represent the links and references to her identity. The content of this show derives from the influence of these heirlooms, gifted to the artist at different stages of my life, safely kept and carried through many relocations between two continents.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until April 30.
