SPECIMENS + PERCEPTIONS
...A Dual Show featuring the work of Marinés Adrianza + Darlene Laguna. opens Saturday, Jan. 10th 2026 6-9PM
SPECIMENS: MARINES ADRIANZA This body of paintings and textile works are a personal archive shaped by the logic of fungi, organisms that transform what already exists, and create invisible networks of connection. Each work functions as a specimen, holding traces of the body, childhood imagination, and ancestral memory. Fungal forms appear as quiet guides, suggesting resilience, vulnerability, and renewal. Through layering, stitching, twisting, and rebuilding, the works remain in flux, honoring transformation as an ongoing state rather than a fixed conclusion.
PERCEPTIONS: Darlene Laguna
definition:
a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression the state of being or process of becoming aware of something through the senses.
"Perceptions" presents a collection of the artist's interpretations of her encounters with landscape in our current world, both up close and from a distance. Texture, color, and shape work together to suggest depth and a sense of place, usually without direct representation. Elements of photography unite the real world with alternate
perspectives, and layers invite the viewer to look beneath to uncover their own meaning and connection to the work. @dklaguna_art+
