Felisha Carenage

Ashes & María

Installative paintings and performances playing with archipelagos’ global intimacies.

Himmelsleiter and Ashes, after Steve McQueen and La Soufriére, are personal reconnections with forms of death and destruction that are inextricable from island living, which are undertaken by referencing mental health crises, gun violence and natural disasters.

The Maria works are collaborations between Felisha Carenage, Luiza Furtado and Anne Meerpohl. The aqueous Maria is a changeable figure who serves as the artistic alter ego of the three painters. In this way, they deal with care-work, friendship, sexual capital and memory.
