Viscera is a two-person exhibition about the body as a living archive: a site of inscription, devotion, and release. Elizabeth Mihaltse Lindy and Kiki McGrath work with paper, hair, charcoal, video, and text. Their materials are intimate and worn: things carried against the body, shed from it, or left somewhere in its name.

Mihaltse Lindy’s layered paper membranes line the walls, translucent, hollow skins. Her Living Ink paintings record pigment settling slowly across skin-like surfaces. Videos follow light moving through water in continuous, quiet motion. McGrath's hairshirt is sewn with human hair, its interior surface embroidered with words to touch the skin. Her charcoal drawings render ex-voto offerings, evidence of bodies left at sacred thresholds. Handwriting covers a wall with lines from an ancient Gnostic poem narrated by a woman.

The installation creates an enclosure for bodies and marks, a space where form moves across walls and time accumulates rather than passes.
