About the Exhibition:
This exhibition has several points of origin. There is the myth of Hermes Trismegistus (The Thrice Great), a Jazz song by the same name (Zane Rodulfo), and a meditation on how existence is the process of transmutation. We grow by transforming life’s lessons into something substantive.

About the Exhibition
Summer Emerald, better known as Salesforce Child, is an interdisciplinary artist based in remote northwestern Canada, where her practice is shaped by the tension between immersion in digital culture and the immediate disconnection that comes when she leaves her cabin, with cell service over an hour’s drive away.
Across painting, video, performance, writing, drawing, and social media, Emerald’s work speaks in an idiosyncratic yet immediately recognizable blend of corporate and devotional language. The work reflects the semiotic chaos of contemporary systems, imbued with the sense that what we have built is leaving us behind.
