Three of my works were included in Permission, Slip a group show celebrating our “permission play, to wander, to step outside the bounds” as Delphine Hennelly, our cohort mentor puts it. Our group of artists worked together for almost a year, meeting on Monday nights to discuss our practices, works, conduct critiques, attend virtual studio visits and meet with visiting artists. Was it a surprise that we were a group of women who all asked about this concept of permission, this far away land that sounds mythical and yet so close to the hand? Delphine asks: “How often do we, as artists, look outward for affirmation—for some external nod that says it’s okay to use ‘this’ color, to fracture the rules of ‘that’ composition, to stray from familiar forms of representation, to be abstract? Hesitating at the edge of risk, there comes a crossroad in every artist’s project when a vital need to reclaim a sense of permissiveness appears. Not as a borrowed privilege, but as an inner stance—one that cannot be outsourced. To assert this stance from within is to reorient one’s perspective. It is to remember that permission to give shape to thought, ultimately, is not a fixed point, but a shifting passage- a slippery road where freedom emerges through the very act of seeking.” The group show was held in Chelsea, at the NY Crit Club Gallery in July 2025. Other artists in my cohort were Joanne Boyle, Hong Yang, Rachel Siminoski, Alexandria Nazar, Clo, Carlisle Burch, Sara Jean Odam, Jane McKenzie, Joan Hanley.
