DEEP REST

ON LOAN—cause this gal is off to Scotland!

Veil of Light is on loan at Raw Milk Mercantile Gallery (Dumfries, Scotland) which was part of their February 2026 exhibition Renewal.

Veil of Light began with a study of shadow—how light filters through fabric, how it softens what it touches. The figure emerges through gauzy layers, half-seen, half-remembered, caught in that hush between presence and disappearance.

It’s a quiet piece, luminous yet reserved, built from thin glazes and whispers of color that seem to hum beneath the surface. The veil becomes both boundary and invitation—a reminder that even in obscurity, hidden in the shadow, a golden crown awaits her choice to finally be seen.

After an art workshop in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico I recalled the absolute delight of watching playful humpback whales frolic in the ocean. The pod of whales was a diverse community and each whale was included in the fun. We humans have a lot to learn from them.

The title of this work is from Sylvia Plath’s poem Tulips. Can a Black woman aspire to the same peace as a white woman? This piece interrogates the tension between the dual realities that for a Black (and fat!)  woman, stillness is often out of reach/ out of bounds (our very existence is a provocation) but stillness is necessary for creation, renewal, growth, all we need to thrive.

In Kitchen, I layer a childhood photo taken on my family’s countertop with a present-day selfie. The kitchen was the center of our home—ordinary, shared, familiar. Overlapping these versions of myself lets me see how much of that early comfort still shapes the way I move through the world. This piece invites a pause, a moment to acknowledge the steadiness we inherit from the spaces that first held us.

Playground layers a childhood photo of me hanging from the monkey bars with a present-day selfie taken while snowboarding. The playground was where I first tested my own bravery—small risks that felt enormous at the time. Overlaying that early courage with the adult version of me chasing freedom on a mountain asks me to slow down and notice the through-line. This piece becomes an invitation to pause and acknowledge the ways bravery grows but never truly leaves us.

In Staircase, a childhood moment captured mid-climb overlaps with my adult face. This was a place of transition in our home—always between one room and the next. Juxtaposed with my present self, it becomes a reminder that we’re always moving between versions of who we were and who we’re becoming. The image asks for stillness within that movement, a small moment of peace and progress before taking the next step.

Embrace depicts a tiger with an ornamented snake coiled around its neck. The gesture is at once protective and constricting—a quiet tension held in a single moment. The tiger is calm, neither resisting nor yielding, as the snake’s presence suggests both care and control. The piece invites reflection on the delicate balance between closeness and constraint, strength and surrender, intimacy and unease.

In this piece, the jellyfish drifts above a skull resting quietly on the lakebed. The jellyfish moves with the rhythm of the water, suspended between life and surrender. In this moment of calm, the work invites reflection on rest, stillness, and the quiet beauty found in letting go.

Each ornamental mark is a gesture of honoring the wolf’s deep intelligence and its role in restoring balance to the land. Inspired by the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone, where their return breathed life back into entire ecosystems. This drawing is a quiet reminder that to revere is to pay attention.

Reflection shows a peacock standing before a mirror, meeting the gaze of a slightly different version of itself. The scene is quiet and deliberate, a pause rather than a performance. Known for its display, the peacock here is still and observant. The work explores self-awareness through stillness, suggesting that understanding often comes not from movement, but from simply being.

Reflecting back on the unique shared experiences of the pandemic, it is clearer than ever that our homes are the most important spaces we occupy. This drawing is centered around a semi-detached Victorian treehouse anchored to the antlers of a caribou, an animal known for its resilience and endurance. Though the caribou seems grounded, it is a wild animal that may change its course at any instance. However, in this moment, things are calm in this imaginary world, and we can remember to look inwards and focus on the things we should really care about.

Liquid Gold features a whiskeyjack (also known as a grey jay) rising toward a glass of whiskey - a small bird with a bold heart reaching for something luminous. It’s about finding light within the heavy, sweetness in the strong, and letting the small joys lift you.

The Winter Solstice Collection is Sylvia Mallory’s love letter to the snow-blanketed Ohio Valley she grew up with in Chillicothe, OH—a small town tucked in-between the rolling hills of the Appalachian Mountains. Winter there was its own strange Crone magic. 

A pastel kaleidoscope of light bouncing off of each slope, every curve, and then back onto itself. A soft blanket for the trees–sisters oak, maple, and buckeye–encased in ice, glistening and sparkling like glass. 

Everything was still. No rush. No noise. Just breath and snow and time. 

Snow just hit there differently back then in the 80s and 90s. Maybe that’s what Sylvia misses the most—the quiet for a snow day.
