To the Core is a dual exhibition featuring former Artomatic president and installation artist Veronica Szalus, alongside Colombian-born MICA graduate and figurative painter Lillian Jacobson. This exhibition explores the concept of being “to the core,” whether through personal identity, storytelling, or individual beliefs. To Jacobson, it means to explore a feeling of belonging within a culture and growing up amongst an ethnicity vastly different from her own. Additionally, the show examines our interconnected relationship to our communities through consumption and conservation, sparking conversations about the far-ranging benefits of repurposing materials, both individually and collectively, to address local and global environmental challenges.
