Brantley Ellzey – Reflection + Ritual + Refuge at The Galleries at Crosstown Arts
Opening Reception: Friday, October 10 | 6:00 - 9:00 PM | Event Details
"In Reflection + Ritual + Refuge, artist Brantley Ellzey weaves a world where repetition becomes remembrance, where reflection fractures into beauty, and where the quiet, persistent act of making becomes a form of resistance.
Across media and gesture, Ellzey explores how we survive—by circling back, by touching what’s been lost, by naming what others ignore."
