ONE TRICK PONY GALLERY PRESENTS

WHAT REMAINS





“In What Remains Reynolds invites you into her world: one where ghosts of past traumas come back to haunt you. Led by the show’s accompanying zine— the artists’ guidebook to the exhibition— you are taken through the haunted house of her memory to view the landmarks of her history. Imprints of a traumatic past come to life in the form of conjured memories, giving just enough to evoke a feeling. An imprint of her own experience, Reynolds’ paintings leave enough space that the mind wants to fill in the blanks. The house of “All That is Kept Inside” becomes your childhood home, the box in “Privacy is a Privilege, Not a Right” the keeper of your own objects, the peas of “I Can’t Reach” the remains of your own volatile family dinner. In the end, she carves her escape from these hauntings into the surface of “What Remains?”, as flames licking up from below the frame threaten to engulf the key to her freedom.”
