Roe Opens Solo Exhibition at Tracey Morgan Gallery

The exhibition brings together works spanning almost five years of activity from Roe’s ongoing series, DESCENT ≈ An Atlas of Relation, a collective archive of earth, plant, and animal forms living and dying together across both great and small distances.

By titling the exhibition Super | Natural, Roe questions our understanding and use of the terms “nature” and “natural,” while embracing spectral associations of the haunted and the ghostly. As with past projects, she draws attention to magical aspects of the elemental, the often hidden, or the overlooked. References to and from feminist theory, literature, and folklore circulate throughout the varied print and video forms. Her ongoing investigations into camera-less methods continue to probe the possibilities of representation for more-than-human voices.

A related zine/booklet accompanies the exhibition, including a text response by feminist environmental humanities scholar Astrida Neimanis, who is known for originating the concept of hydrofeminism.
