Bell Projects presents – Home Away From Home – a group exhibition featuring prints and ceramics by Claudia Borfiga, Virginia Diaz Saiki, and Lucy Holtsnider, March 2024.
These three Denver-based artists reflect on the meaning of home and transition as each has spent significant periods of their lives elsewhere. Narratives are revealed through storytelling or experiencing one’s natural surroundings through new eyes or beginnings. Each artist renders these memories, transitions, and observations through a variety of printing techniques.
The body of work Claudia Borfiga shares here explores her relationship with the sun. With each move she’s made, from her homeland in the UK, to California, and now to Colorado, it feels as if it's become brighter and bolder. As the bringer of light and life, she is lured outside by its power, when sometimes she needs to lurk in the dark. She has endless longings for rainy day comfort, and for a taste of home.
