“if you receive a love letter from me you are fucked forever.”
Jon Gott
March 23 - April 10
For the past six years, one of us has always rushed home to spend the last few minutes of Valentine’s Day together. This year, it was my turn. Barely making it in time, I arrived home to a fully hung painting show – a collection meticulously crafted by Jon, mapping the memories and changes of our time together. I am proud to curate from this deeply personal collection and present: “If you receive a love letter from me you are fucked forever.”
This exhibition offers a glimpse into the most intimate moments and memories of our complex and multifaceted relationship. With an act of vulnerability, these works are displayed within the intimate and private spaces of our home. Originating from the first house we shared together in Lakewood, Ohio, these paintings have been years in the making.
