Recent Curatorial Projects
Furtive, work by Daniel Hojnacki, Karolis Usonis, and Krista Wortendyke
Curated by Jennifer Murray for Filter Photo
Chicago Cultural Center, 78 W. Washington, Chicago, IL
February 2 - April 7, 2019
Furtive is a photography-based exhibition that explores the complexity of memory,
both personal and collective. Through an examination of place, archive, and the intersection
of perception and knowing, three artists ask us to reconsider what we think we know
based on our past experiences, communal knowledge and memories.

Jackson Patterson, Recollected Memories
Gallery 19, Chicago
July 6 - August 4, 2018
Jackson Patterson’s montages address the annihilation of space and
time through the advent of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, and
how it transformed American life. His exploration of the westward migration
is focused on images he has taken of timeless landscapes merged with old family photos,
and the personal history that lies within.
Mysterious Possessions: work by Patricia Hernes
Ralph Arnold Gallery, Loyola University Chicago
August 27 - September 26, 2015
Catalog pdf, with an essay by Frank Vodvarka
This exhibition of new work by Chicago artist Patricia Hernes explores wonder
as part of artistic discourse. Her drawings are an invitation to consider the
intellectual dialog that exists between objects; both real and imagined. By
juxtaposing disparate forms to create artificial curiosities, both naturalia and
artificialia, which defy taxonomies, typologies and classification, new mysterious
artifacts exist side by side as objects of amazement. Because they do not fit into
existing categories, these wonders are perfect objects for making us rethink our world
