Alexandra Jamieson presents

Our Stories: Patterns & What We Inherit,

a solo exhibition made possible with support from

Realty Collective.

For her first solo show, Alexandra Jamieson found inspiration in trauma healing therapies like EMDR, as well as scientific research into epigenetic inheritance, and the basic building blocks of human life, nucleotides. Patterns of healing, epigenetic trauma, and intergenerational expressions of hope, addiction, mental health crises, and loss are explored in this robust series of watercolors and mixed-media paintings.

Jamieson designs a gallery space in Brooklyn’s historic Red Hook neighborhood, as a center of healing for the communities impacted by overlapping natural and human disasters. The exhibition also includes Jamieson’s first soundwork, a recording of breathing techniques, which visitors can listen to with headphones as they view specific works inspired by self-soothing techniques.

10% of sales will be donated to Good Shepard Services, a non-profit organization serving local communities of Red Hook, Brooklyn.

The space is made possible in partnership with Realty Collective’s Compere Collective program, a people-driven, woman-owned real estate company.
