Art Exhibit
"It Made Sense When I Made It" or "Everything In Its Place"
an exhibition by Annie B. McCall
EXHIBITION ON VIEW: June 21 – August 10, 2025, on the 4th Floor at the Trinity St. Playhouse.
FROM THE ARTIST:
“This is a culmination of varying types of works running across different mediums and emotions. One day does not reflect the next and in that sense the work does and does not connect with each other. Hence the need for multiple namings of this show. Some days I felt more playful than others, as I believe we all do, but when you are neurodivergent the days can shift to extremes. In the creation process I was hopeful that individual pieces would start to relate organically and I believe in some of the work that is what happened. I came to the realization that constant indecisiveness is who I am. I wanted to embrace what makes me tick and instead of fighting the demands I have for myself trying to conform to something that I will never be, decisive. SO instead of trying to make a cohesive belonging to the pieces, to have everything in its place, the days and feelings decide that indeed this is exactly where it is supposed to be. Thereby offering it a place of belonging. Everything is in its place at least at the present moment, which is constantly changing. So in a way everything is indecisive and nothing conforms to a specific mold, reality is always questioning what comes next.”
