The Somatic Mirror: Reflecting Self and Other

Written and Curated by Peter John Marquez, featuring the art of Lisa Lunskaya Gordon, Jehanne-Marie Gavarini, Judith Larsen, Ann Hirsch and Lisie Orjuela. The artists in Somatic Mirror: Reflecting Self and Other use the body as reflective surface and as looking glass to explore the personal and social. What do we see in the Somatic Mirror -- a mere reflection of our physical self, an aperture to the soul? Or does its very nature confirm the fissure between internal and external, the kinesthetic and the visual, self and other?
