PERSONAL HEAVEN is a solo exhibition of recent works by comedic artist Mackenzie Thomas of "Mackenzie Thomas Industries". The exhibition opens in tandem with the release of Thomas' newest zine by the same name. The zine and the installation represent two aspects of PERSONAL HEAVEN, a project in which the artist documents and celebrates her movement from a longstanding sadness to a state of well-being and joy. Through PERSONAL HEAVEN, Thomas shares the visual aspect of her studio practice, which comprises comedy and video art, enjoyed by many via her TikTok account @dumbmackenzie. In this space, Thomas creates a constellation of thoughtfully collected ephemera foraged from her immediate environment during the past year- photographs, plush toys, scanned drawings and canvases index the artists' recent travels toward a lighter world- view. In a handmade language reminiscent of reblogs and soft grunge, Thomas honors ordinary keepsakes like read receipts, neighborhood strays, lunch breaks, corporate logos, 7-11 snacks, and dirty window selfies. Through these commonplace and sometimes seedy treasures, Thomas shares a perspective which does not place a filter on preciousness, but which deeply cherishes all that which is immediately present no matter how small or how mundane. We invite you to use this language for mindfulness to create a drawing to share with us.
