Paula Mahoney’s work represents an ongoing examination of death and personal loss. She investigates lamentation as a necessary yet optimistic viewpoint that suggests psychological shifts, creating both an awareness of our limitations and our connection to each other and to a greater whole. She uses performative photography and portraiture, frequently using herself, daughter, niece and sisters, wearing clothes of dead loved ones.
Free event. RSVP essential.
