Tokens and Traces Jeanne Ciravolo
Between Here and There  Kimberly LaVonne
A Reckoning in Pink Danielle Mužina

Buckham Gallery is pleased to present three concurrent solo exhibitions featuring the works of Jeanne Ciravolo, Kimberly LaVonne and Danielle Mužina.

Jeanne Ciravolo’s Tokens and Traces seeks to amplify the narrative of female protagonists by using practices normally associated with women's domestic labor. Ciravolo uses these collages of painted paper fragments, paper towels and other found pieces to paint, print and layer, creating texture within her forms and a sense of repair and re-envision, both traditionally female practices. Ciravolo describes the effect of her layers as a skin, and likens the ripped and creased nature of her work to the fragmented nature of memory and conscious experience. 

Kimberly LaVonne’s exhibition Between Here and There explores LaVonne’s efforts to maintain and strengthen her connection with her Panamanian heritage. The pieces are inspired by forms found in Pre-Columbian Coclé pottery, however she uses the outside of these pieces as the canvas with which to showcase her images. These images explore themes like the architecture and atmosphere of her hometown Cuidad del Saber, the indigenous textile art Molas created by the Guna people in Panama, and of the “Diablico Sucio” or “Dirty Devils'' parades she would attend in Santiago when she was a child. LaVonne uses the many layers in her pieces to invoke the sights, sounds and feelings of being in Cuidad del Saber, in hopes that it will create a dialogue between herself and her ancestral home. 

Danielle Mužina’s exhibit A RECKONING IN PINK questions gender performance in relation to gender roles within our contemporary society. Being a survivor during the #MeToo movement, Mužina was heavily inspired by the testimony of Dr. Balsey-Ford in 2019. She created this body of work to speak to the anxieties, traumas, and sense of self that one often needs to mold and change in order to keep the façade of one's assigned gender alive on a daily basis. We see both the constant internal and external pressures placed on women and non-binary people on display in imagined scenarios with suffering characters under a bleeding pink sky. Mužina uses patterns and layered colors to create these imagined landscapes that connect to the very real anxieties and pressures Mužina and many people experience everyday. 

Jeanne Ciravolo, Kimberly LaVonne and Danielle Mužina all share a strong connection between their art making practices to explore self identity, autonomy, and survivorship. Using painting, textiles, ceramics, or mixed media techniques, they each create artwork that describes and interprets their own experiences and those of women, non-binary people, or first generation immigrants.

Solo Exhibitions will be on view at Buckham Gallery February 17 - March 18, 2023. Flint’s ARTWALK to be held Friday, March 10  from 6 to 9 PM.
