PRESS RELEASE EXCERPT
by Jennifer Tazewell Mawby & Alissa Polan

Phantom Body brings together contemporary women-identifying artists who invoke ideas of soft power, psychic space, and embodied memory. These works are not only representations of bodies but also traces of what remains after rupture, after silence, and after erasure. Borrowing from the medical phenomenon of phantom limb syndrome—the sensation of presence despite absence—the title becomes a metaphor for emotional and political haunting.
