Tarryn Teresa Gallery is pleased to announce the debut solo exhibition of Santa Monica-based artist Claressinka Anderson.

Claressinka Anderson’s series of eight large-scale photographs present an intimate chronicle of three generations of her mother’s family from their roots in the Czech Republic. Anderson is captivated by the ephemeral nature of memory and its metaphorical consonance with liminal spaces: doors; windows; mirrors; and corridors. Windows are a prominent feature of Through Your Ghosts, Darkly; they serve as a symbol of both the porous psychic boundary between past and present and of the photographic lens itself. The interaction between one’s subjective memories and the permanence of the photographic medium is a unifying theme throughout Anderson’s pieces.
