Maria Hupfield | Storywork

September 4 - october 16 2021

Patel Brown, in partnership with Galerie Hugues Charbonneau, is pleased to present Maria Hupfield’s solo exhibition, Storywork, at Patel Brown East. The title of this exhibition draws inspiration from the ways living knowledge is carried through our actions, clothing, and words. Works presented in the exhibition range from sculptures to live performance components, activated by the artist’s touch. Pieces such as Our Relations in 4 Directions, Double Punch, Backward Double Spiral Jingle Boots, and Silver Tongue Taste of Progress have been tools for connection in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Santa Fe, and Phoenix before landing in Toronto. Each new activation combines the energy of living with the balance of movement, action, sound, strength, and hope as essential components in the creation of meaning making.
