Curry's exhibition, Submerged Motherlands, was characterized by emotional depth and presented artworks that encapsulated her diverse experiences. The installation featured a large Haitian mapou tree sculpture, intricate papercuts of marine life, and meaningful figures from previous exhibits representing themes of hope and devastation. Two notable weathered art barges symbolized past journeys. The exhibit also included personal reflections on Curry's mother, culminating in poignant representations of her life stages, showcasing the interplay of personal and collective narratives within her work.
Art gave Curry a language. It gave her joy. It gave her confidence. And it gave her a platform from which to launch into the wider world.
Submerged Motherlands was a moody, dreamy, melancholy experience offering both artifacts and insight from Curry's many journeys.
The warm and hopeful image of Dawn and Gemma - a mother and her breastfeeding newborn - rose over a meditation hut layered with intricate wasps' comb.
This place, where visitors were invited to sit, talk, and contemplate, held the most personal pieces in the exhibit - two heartbreaking tableaus depicting Curry's own mother.
