December 5 - December 28, 2025
Opening Reception: Friday, December 5 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM
We are thrilled to present, a real animal biting itself, a solo exhibition of works by Douglas Degges. These works were composed over the past three years and are part of Degges’ ongoing project, a squirrel from memory, explore shared digital experiences, the pressure to possess a singular voice or vision within a creative practice and the concept of home as something immaterial and held within the body.
