This is Laura Soto’s first solo exhibition with The Box, presenting works born of regenerative ecosystems, made between 2016 to 2024. Working with layered paper, resin, oils, acrylics, plaster and detritus, the various wall shells, tomes, and freestanding subjects absorb pieces of each other lost in their respective techniques of creation. Her process begins from potentially self-destructive anxious habits that have been reformulated into rituals of remembrance and transformation, which she herself thinks of as alchemically transcendent. Laura Soto’s home and studio is three thousand feet from the Eaton Fire burn zone. We are collectively grateful it was spared from the fires, however it is in a zone of concern for toxic debris. Many members of The Box family and community have been directly affected by the Eaton Fires, losing their homes and possessions. This exhibition will be a moment of repose to respect our rituals of regeneration.
