Plastilina Memorabilia
May 9 - June 21, 2026


Press Release:

I tell Yves the name of my show: 

Plastilina- the name of a clay that never dries.  I like it because it sounds like a cool girl's name. Like how Poly Styrene named herself after a plastic.  The ultimate readymade. Like Esra's CHICKLETTE.  But also like neuroplasticity- the brain's ability to heal + change.  Also the name Plasti-city, my short lived flea market booth.

Memorabilia- do I even need to explain? The crossroads between actual rare items + things deemed "collectible." A million Bob Dylan box sets jamming up the gears.  A beautiful word to be written in cursive.  Getting further and further away from the time me + Flan played in Odwalla.  Queens of the tail end- we were queens of the tale end.  Like everything it gets more + more rare, storied, sought after.
