Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to announce Assemble (Cut, burn, stitch) with care, a compelling group exhibition featuring works by Laura Petrovich-Cheney, Tristan Fitch, and Carolyn Millstein. The show invites viewers to explore the transformative power of materiality and process through the lens of three innovative contemporary artists.

Each artist in the exhibition engages with acts of destruction and transformation as metaphors for resilience, memory, and reconstruction. Petrovich-Cheney’s sculptural assemblages repurpose salvaged wood into vibrant geometric compositions. Fitch’s work evokes tactile narratives through surfaces of pit fired porcelain and hand hewn found wood. Millstein’s stitched metal wall pieces weave together personal and collective histories with quiet intensity. The materials carry histories, scars, and stories that unfold across the surfaces of their work.

Assemble (Cut, burn, stitch) with care offers a rich visual dialogue that bridges fine art, craft, and design inviting reflection on the beauty of found materials, the possibility of transformation, and embracing unpredictability.
