Pat DeCaro: Hidden Beauty

September 1 - 30, 2023

Hidden Beauty is a a collection of charcoal portraits and photography that reflect upon our relationship to memory and time. Mounted in a narrative grid, the work surrounds the viewer with temporal associations and becomes a meditation on separation, emotional connection, and dislocation.

DeCaro’s work often blurs the line between different media with one narrative theme, she addresses issues of memory and personal identity that make connections to her forty-year body of work. DeCaro is the recipient of numerous awards including the Yvonne Twining Humber Award for Lifetime Achievement in the visual arts, the Barbara Deming Memorial Fund (NYC), a Hauberg Fellowship, Ford Foundation, and the Seattle Arts Commission.
