Teresa Baker : Everything I Carry With Me

  • COMA is pleased to present Teresa Baker's solo presentation, on view Friday 25 July - 23 August, 37 Chapel Street, Marrickville, Sydney, 2204, NSW. This exhibition marks Teresa Baker’s first solo exhibition in the Asia Pacific region.

     

    This new body of work, developed across Altadena, the Bay Area, and the Northern Plains of Montana, reflects a layered relationship between place, memory, and material. Prompted by the Altadena fires, the works emerged across multiple geographies, yet carry with them a sense of continuity rooted in personal and cultural history. Baker reconsiders the idea of borders, allowing the perimeter of the works to become the focal point, while the centre transforms into a space for roaming, openness, and possibility.

    Teresa Baker (Mandan/Hidatsa) B. 1985 Watford City, ND) is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes in Western, ND and currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

     

    Through a mixed media practice combining artificial and natural materials together, Baker creates abstracted landscapes that explore vast space, and how we move, see and explore within them. The materials, texture, shapes, and color relationships are guided by Baker’s Mandan/Hidatsa culture. In her practice, Baker imbues innate objects with culture and identity.

     

    Baker's work was recently acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, KS, and the Portland Museum of Art, Maine, the Forge Collection, NY and The Tia Collection, Santa Fe. In 2023 Baker’s work was included in ‘Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living’ at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA the sixth iteration of the biennial exhibition.
