Their exhibition, “Rehearsals for Remembering,” has been on display at Firehouse art center in Longmont, Colorado, since July. According to Firehouse:
“The exhibition explores memory not as a fixed record, but as an active and unstable process shaped through relationships, objects and reconstruction. Through large-scale collaborative paintings and intimate accumulations of domestic imagery, the exhibition considers how meaning is built through repetition, fragmentation and personal association.
“Professor Leslie and Cully’s layered paintings emerge through an ongoing process of collaboration, where different visual approaches overlap, misalign, and respond to one another. Their large-scale works emphasize tension, balance, and exchange, turning the act of painting into a record of shared experience and shifting perception.
“Whitney sage’s paintings and sculptural fragments approach memory through accumulation and absence. Images of homes, domestic objects, and architectural details reflect on personal and collective loss, exploring how places and experiences continue to linger through objects, recollection and emotional attachment.
“Together, the works suggest that remembering is a continual rehearsal, never fully stable or complete. Memory shifts over time, shaped as much by invention and perception as by lived experience itself.”
