Florine Imo: Trenza

Steve Turner is pleased to present Trenza, a solo exhibition by Florine Imo which features new paintings that depict her braided hair and that of her friends and are inspired by themes of interconnectedness, collectivity and sharing. “Trenza,” Spanish for braid, is a potent symbol in the Mexican culture of her boyfriend where it represents indigenous heritage and femininity. According to Imo, “Braiding each other’s hair is a source of comfort and it represents our interwoven lives. Nothing exists in isolation. Every action affects the whole. One is all, and all is one.”
