Un-Becoming

Reception: Friday, September 18, 2026, 6–8 pm

Lindsay McCulloch’s mixed media paintings explore autobiographical subject matter through abstraction, investigating themes of femininity, body, domesticity, craft, motherhood, and memory. Through cutting, layering, folding, and building out surfaces, she visualizes the struggle to move past pre-existing structures and categories to exist freely in the moment.
