An Exhibition Exchange Between Grizzly Grizzly (Philadelphia, PA) and after / time (Portland, OR)
Grizzly Grizzly is pleased to present -VOIR | VER-, an exhibition featuring five artists from after / time, an
artist-run collective based in Portland, Oregon. This show marks the first phase of an exchange between
two like-minded spaces—Grizzly Grizzly and after / time— at opposite ends of the United States yet both
dedicated to artist-led experimentation, collaboration, and dialogue across distance.

Originally conceived around the acts “to see” and “to watch,” the theme of observation in -VOIR | VER-
has evolved into a conversation about perception through the body, memory, and material. The work in

this show explores how we come to know the world—and ourselves—not just by seeing, but by sensing,
feeling, and remaking.
Erin Bodfish’s encaustic paintings explore how grief, love, and memory reside in the body. The textured
surfaces of her paintings—flesh-like and raw—invite viewers to encounter emotion as something
tangible. Kaitlyn Carr’s suspended sculpture of wax paper and string hover like delicate thresholds
between presence and absence, using light and shadow to distort what is visible. Her ephemeral forms
speak to the fragility of perception.
Orquidia Violeta’s salvaged textile works transform discarded fabric into intimate, wearable objects that
hold histories of migration, labor, and care. Her practice grounds itself in the power of touch and craft
traditions as a means of personal and cultural storytelling. Todd Molinari’s single-channel video
embraces ambiguity, open-endedness, and material excess to resist neat conclusions. His work probes
the messiness of thought and artmaking itself. Tristan Perrotti’s immersive painting installation swirls
with motion and emotion, depicting figures engulfed in both internal and environmental turbulence,
stretched across space like a visual storm.
Together, these artists blur the line between interior and exterior experience—between what is seen and
what is felt. -VOIR | VER- invites viewers to consider not only how we look (see?), but how we live
through our materials, our bodies, and the questions that refuse resolution.
This exchange continues in August 2025, when the members of Grizzly Grizzly will exhibit their work at
after / time in Portland, Oregon.
