In this show, “Blush” becomes a site of convergence between warmth and coldness, the private and the public, the intimate and the speculative. The title evokes not only the bodily reaction of flushing skin—often involuntary and tied to emotion, exposure, or embarrassment—but also the ephemeral hues of tenderness, shame, desire, and nostalgia. It asks: What does it mean to be emotionally visible in a world that often demands detachment? Vanessa Rishel invites viewers to explore vulnerability and softness through her most recent and experimental works. Drawing on personal memory, sensory perception, and speculative imagination, her practice negotiates the thresholds between inner affect and external expression. Through color, and spatial arrangement, Rishel creates atmospheres that oscillate between comfort and unease—spaces where emotion is not only seen, but felt. Join us at Mortis Studio for the reception on Friday, June 13th from 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. "Blush" will run from June 13th - July 13th.
