JUST RESTING YOUR EYES
Solo Exhibition at cactusBARN
Curated by Leigh Anne Lester and Jayne Lawrence
On view March 2nd - May 13th, 2024

Just Resting Your Eyes was a site-specific exhibition exploring love, memory, and dreams across three generations. Inspired by her family folklore, Angela Guerra Walley’s multidisciplinary artworks are presented alongside family heirlooms to examine societal expectations of women, particularly after marriage. The title references a phrase Guerra Walley’s father, Luis Angel Guerra, used throughout her childhood and makes a connection between the many moments we all close our eyes - to daydream, embrace, kiss, weep, sleep, dream, and die. 

cactusBARN is an independent artist run exhibition space that is located in the King William neighborhood. Established by Leigh Anne Lester and Jayne Lawrence in 2023.
