Curated by Catherine Bickord

“I have made many altars in my life and I have witnessed others do the same. I watched my daughter make altars from her earliest years, as young as three. She would gather objects that held meaning for her and she would create permanent “set ups” on tables and window sills. This activity is an instinctive human behavior with great personal meaning. This dynamic exhibition contains artwork by twenty-two artists whose works explore this relationship.” Catherine Bickord, ’24/25 AIR, NYSS Project Space, Dumbo, Brooklyn, NY
