In Candela’s front gallery, Mejung Park is stealing hearts with piles of garbage. 

The alluring compositions are part of Mourning, a subset of Still Life for Things that Need a Goodbye. In her photographic series, Park creates delicate arrangements of discarded items from around her home and pairs them with paper florals she’s cut from a cherished book of botanical illustrations.

Exhibiting artist Caitlin Teal Price embraces the contemporary terror of a damaged pigment print by intentionally carving into the surface of her photographs. 

Candela Gallery is excited to mount its first solo show by Washington, DC-based artist, Caitlin Teal Price. Through photography and deliberate, delicate mark-making, Price carves gestural patterns and shapes into the surface of her prints. Built on photographs of sunlight, seeping through the windows of her home, these Scratch Drawings are an exploration of the ritual and routine found in the undercurrents of Price's daily life.
