Fiction and memory exist in side-by-side apartments, easily confused by the mind whenever it misreads the building directory. Such is the subject of artist Candace Hicks’ new solo exhibition where, utilizing hand embroidery, she recounts experiences tiptoeing between real and unreal. These fabric and thread recollections weave in themes like “the cultural shift from VHS to DVD in the late 1990s and the anxiety surrounding Y2K” through crop circle imagery, Google searches, and Hicks’ first job. Decide for yourself whether Hicks’ threaded story is fact or fiction this Saturday, Jan. 18, at the show’s opening reception. – James Scott
