Just Resting Your Eyes is a site-specific exhibition exploring love, memory, and dreams
across three generations. Angela Guerra Walley’s multidisciplinary works are inspired
by her family folklore and examine societal expectations of women, particular after
marriage. The title references a phrase Guerra Walley’s father used throughout her
childhood and makes a connection between the many moments we all close our
eyes - to daydream, embrace, kiss, weep, sleep, dream, and die.
cactusBARN is an independent artist run exhibition space that is located in the King
William neighborhood. Established by Leigh Anne Lester and Jayne Lawrence in 2023.
