Joy Machine presents 'Feel Free', a group exhibition featuring new works by Rachel Hayden, Paulina Ho, Hanna Lee Joshi, and Jeremy Miranda. The show opens with a reception on May 15, 2026, and runs through June 27, 2026. Each artist explores the tension between chaos and control, using diverse media—from acrylic and gouache to Japanese indigo on thrifted textiles—to capture moments of impermanence and unexpected harmony.
The exhibition matters because it brings together four contemporary artists who collectively address a universal human struggle: the desire for order in an unpredictable world. By highlighting small, fleeting instances of clarity, 'Feel Free' offers a timely meditation on resilience and surrender, resonating with audiences navigating an era of constant change. The show also showcases innovative techniques, such as Miranda's wet-sanding process and Ho's shift to textile work, reflecting evolving practices in contemporary painting.
