This exhibit brings together the work of Lamar Whidbee and Chris Facey to reflect on joy, memory, and the experiences that shape us early in life. Through their artwork, the exhibition looks to childhood as a place of imagination, play, and connection. Rather than seeing nostalgia as a way to escape the present, these works consider how memories of joy can remind us of what still matters. They ask what we carry with us from those early years and how those experiences continue to influence our well-being, our relationships, and our sense of self.
