Shrine Installations

SHRINE includes new immersive installations by six artists, including painter and assemblage artist Naomi Chambers, photographer and mixed media artist Renée Cox, artist and art educator Mary Martin, artisan and owner of a micro-enterprise LaKeisha Wolf, interdisciplinary artist and cultural producer Alisha B Wormsley, and visual artist sarah huny young. The installations will run from June 17, 2022 through December 30, 2022 at the Mattress Factory’s Monterey Annex.

These six artists bridge ancient practices with advanced technology, the spiritual and physical, and the artificial with the natural world. SHRINE provides some insight into each artist’s unique process and practice of resistance, self-love and preservation. Through sculpture, photography, film, painting, craft, ceramics, poetry, and new technologies, the Annex building has been transformed into a site of renewal, discovery and personal and collective healing.
