With sculptures set against a sterile medical blue installation environment, Brache’s work evokes the Surrealist movement — with its historically overlooked female members — to examine the suppression of women’s subjectivities. As noted in the press text: “Brache sees how codification [of speech] manifests through surrealism, and as a symptom of gaslighting, and the pathologization of female emotion and expression.”**
