Seen and Unseen

a group show with Liz Gates, Sparrow Gates, and Ty Gates at landSPACE: a kunsthalle in Austin, TX, photography by Casey Woods


In Seen and Unseen, Gates reimagines traditional symbols of home as she collaborates with her children to discuss the particular flavor of American nomadism that has been passed down from their foremothers. The resulting work is a love letter to the unseen parts of a family and the unspoken ways folklore influences a unique and isolated heritage.
