Private Parts // Private Places
Chloe Hanken
August 6 - August 16, 2024
Reception: August 9, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery presents an Emerging Member solo exhibition, Private Parts // Private Places by New Mexico based artist Chloe Hanken. The exhibition opens August 6th, with a special reception on August 9th from 5-7pm.

Chloe Hanken is a printmaker and illustrator whose work explores the intersection of history, place, and family narrative. Her work is informed by her background in natural history and ecology, which is brought to bear upon issues of loss, change and unbelonging at the tail end of the American empire.

Hanken stated, “This body of work examines internal landscapes shaped by intimate moments. What are the topographies of stories and how do we assimilate our lived experiences with history and ideas about the future. I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to share this exhibition with the Santa Fe community and to be a part of Strata Gallery this year.”

Hanken earned her BA in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic and her MFA in Studio Arts from the University of New Mexico. Her work has been exhibited across New Mexico and this is her first solo show in Santa Fe.

Strata Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
