Homing is a solo exhibition featuring the work of regional multidisciplinary artist Alicia Hauff. This body of work examines the disconnect between contemporary life and the ecological, ancestral, and somatic systems that have sustained human and non-human communities. Homing refers to “an ability to return to a place or territory after traveling a distance away from it.” The foundational aspects of home include a sense of rootedness, connectedness, belonging, safety, and mutual care. Homing is a re-membering, recovering, and re-commitment to the greater whole of interconnected, interdependent life. Re-membering relates to the embodied act of becoming whole, putting ourselves back together again in care and community. For Hauff, homing begins with getting to know those beings all around us, every day.
Through fluid acrylic washes, graphite portraiture, and organic materials gathered from the land, Hauff guides viewers into a practice of attunement: noticing the languages of birds, the cycles of wildflowers, the shifting textures and energies of place. Her work invites viewers to slow down, listen, and rediscover the animacy of the world, ultimately reminding us that our bodies know the way home.
