THE ART:

On view will be a series of large-scale colored pencil drawings and sculptural installations using tangled masses of bodies and objects to reflect on the tensions and anxieties around issues ranging from police brutality and plastic pollution to mental health and body politics. White’s obsessively detailed drawings are an exploration of contemporary life in all its complexity: they are at once funny and somber, personal and political, comically bright and darkly serious.
