Of Mind and Body – Invitational Exhibit Featuring Christophe Lima & Kristen Memoli

Posted on September 7, 2020 by public relations in Uncategorized

On display through October 10, 2020
Featuring the work of Christophe Lima & Kristen Memoli


Christophe Lima

Christophe Lima – “I use a psychological theorem developed by Carl Jung called Shadow Work to examine the unexplored, vulnerable side of self, humanity, femininity, and my environment. My work is always gritty, honest, and emotionally driven. I understand that to live fully, to be full, we must, at times, gaze into the abyss.”

Kristen Memoli resides in Huntington, New York.  She is a clinical psychologist by training and a self-taught artist.  Kristen is drawn to and inspired by contrast and contradictions.  Many of her works explore concepts of light versus dark, life versus decay, and joy versus heartache. She most enjoys abstract, landscape, and urban exploration photography as well as creating multimedia pieces.

Series 1: Recognition
Recognition is defined as:

  1. A formal acknowledgment of the existence of something 
  2. Knowledge or feeling that someone or something present has been
    encountered before

In this series, the artist shares images of Half-house, an abandoned structure she stumbled on during a hike.  She visited this space multiple times and began to photograph it obsessively.

“I fell in love with Half-house the moment I set eyes on it.  I recognized myself in the structure immediately.  I too am aging, falling apart in some ways, and also incomplete.  I can even relate to the sense of abandonment one feels when looking up into the eves of the old space.  By capturing its images and later “gifting” the Half-house, I attempted to truly “see” it and recognize it for the once whole and possibly even cherished place it must have been to someone long. long ago”. – Kristen Memoli

The Recognition Series consists of:  Recognition, Gifting Half-house 1-3

Series 2: Paper Containers

In the practice of psychology, some therapists employ the use of “containers” with patients.  Items such as bottles, small boxes, or even sewn bags can be used to capture one’s most inner thoughts.  The thoughts are safely “contained” inside allowing the individual to see them, reflect on them, and at times engage with them.  In this series, the artist’s thoughts, memories, and ramblings are contained on paper instead of inside three-dimensional objects.

The Paper Containers Series consists
of: Empty but Full, What day is today?, and Untitled
