Crown Gallery is proud to present Margins of Memory, an exciting new exhibit that brings together six international artists who currently reside in New York but span five different countries of origin, offering a global yet deeply personal meditation on memory and healing through the expanded mediums of print, papermaking, collage, and installation.In a world increasingly marked by displacement, fragmentation, and collective grief, these artists turn to the tactile intimacy of works on paper-etchings, monoprints, handmade pulp, and experimental processes-as a way to trace the fragile imprints of memory: personal, ancestral, and imagined.

Paper, as both surface and substance, holds and reveals. Its fibers retain touch, absorb pigment, and fray with time. In this exhibition, curated by Sariah Park, paper becomes a vessel for healing: a space where trauma can be transmuted, and stories-once silenced-can find form. Despite vast cultural and geographical distances, each artist finds a shared language in the medium itself. Printmaking, with its cycles of layering, pressing, and repetition, echoes the rituals of remembering and forgetting. The handmade sheet becomes an archive; the printed image, a gesture of reclaiming.

Together, these works invite viewers not only to look but to feel-to engage with memory not as static record, but as a living, breathing process of making and mending.

Participating artists include Emilie Houssart, Holland/U.K., Hayoon Jay Lee, South Korea, Anette Millington, USA, Malgorzata Oakes, Poland, Sariah Park, USA, and Xuewu Zheng, China

Margins of Memory opens on Saturday, November 8 with a reception from 1 - 4 PM, and runs through January 10, 2026. The gallery is open Thursday through Saturday, 12 - 4 PM, and by appointment. ADA accessible, free parking.
