Congratulations to Eskenazi School faculty member Elizabeth M. Claffey on her opening of Tacit Inheritance at the Marsh Gallery (IUPUI) in Indianapolis. This two-person exhibition features works from Claffey's series Matrilinear alongside Rania Matar's Unspoken Conversations. The exhibition was curated by Adam Reynolds and Mary Goodwin (founders of The Aurora Photo Center), and supported by Herron School of Art + Design.
Tacit Inheritance features two distinct bodies of work by Elizabeth M. Claffey and Rania Matar, each exploring the themes of identity and memory through broader experiences of women across generations and cultures. Claffey’s "Matrilinear" offers a poetic window to layers of memory, through object portraits that represent a common thread of past, present, and future. In Matar's meticulously crafted portrait series "Unspoken Conversations," she explores womanhood at two seminal stages of life, adolescence and middle age.
