Camp

A two person exhibition featuring the work of Zoe Hawk & Rachel Wisniewski.

CAMP is a meditation on the moonstruck world of girlhood: its rites of passage, emotional undercurrents, and wild self-expression. Featuring large-scale prints by Rachel Wisniewski and Zoe Hawk, the exhibition explores the rare space where young girls can be wholly and authentically themselves: summer camp.

Wisneiwski’s photographs, taken at a sleep-away camp in rural Pennsylvania, shadow one bunk of campers as they establish identity and community in a whimsical world of s’mores, hair braiding, and swimming. Hawk’s paintings mirror these themes: conjuring dreamlike tableaus where girls take center stage and can be unguarded, theatrical, and free.

Together their work creates a layered portrait of coming of age-where camp is not just a place, but a state of becoming.
