Featuring works by Misoo Bang, Austin Furtak-Cole, Suzy Spence, Kalin Thomas, Mollie Ward, and Corrine Yonce, Mortal Coil explores the human experience through the lens of self-possession, connection, and vulnerability, all rooted in the physicality of the body.

Mortal Coil takes its title from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a phrase signifying the troubles and entanglements of human existence. This figurative-based show invites viewers to engage with the subjective experience of inhabiting a body— a vessel through which we experience life, connection, and the profound intimacy of being.

Through various mediums and perspectives, the participating artists explore themes such as the folds and contours of the human form, the emotive resonance of everyday scenes, and the delicate balance between strength and fragility inherent to mortal life. The works reflect on our shared vulnerabilities and joys, capturing moments of intimacy, discomfort, humor, and celebration.
