2026 begins with my participation in Lost & Found, a group show curated by Yvette Mayorga and presented by MASS Gallery.
Featuring work by sixteen artists across fiber, painting, sculpture, installation, collage, video, and drawing, the exhibition explores how identity and place are shaped, fragmented, and reassembled over time. Many works draw on objects tied to personal and collective memory—nostalgic, inherited, and everyday materials that ask what we carry with us, and why. Painted flora and fauna passed down through generations become vessels for reimagining lineage and survival, an ink handwritten note of words of affirmation on a table napkin acts as a fleeting moment, while plush, soft fiber-based works act as quiet proclamations of what we refuse to leave behind. Together, the artists question not only what is lost, but what is intentionally preserved, transformed, or released.
Lost and Found is part of Yvette Mayorga’s community engagement and ongoing research for her public art commission at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s new Concourse B, estimated to open in the early 2030s.
