Terra Madre features Katrina Bello’s charcoal and pastel drawings of natural surfaces on paper, photographic prints on metal, and soundless videos. This exhibition includes drawings produced during Bello’s residency at the Helene Wurlitzer Residency in Taos, NM, and invites viewers to ponder how land, landscape, and memory form the complex fabric of our identities.
