Cirrus Gallery is pleased to announce The Picture I Carry in My Head a group exhibition organized by Terri Phillips, a graduate of CalArts and current artist with Acuna Hansen Gallery. Comprised of a diverse group of artists and including a disparate use of media, The Picture I Carry in My Head proposed the title phrase as a working outline for the artists to respond to for their addition to the exhibition.

Terri Philips addresses the impetus for the show in this statement:

I was once asked by a friend to recall the three strongest visual moments I had experienced in my life. I told him one was watching Ma Rainey's face as she sang when I was an underage teenager and had snuck into a blues club in downtown Memphis .  He corrected me and told me that Ma Rainey had died in 1939, so it was impossible that it was she I was remembering.  Nevertheless, the beauty and agony in the face of that unknown singer is burned into my mind.  There are many pictures I carry in my head.  They are a combination of memory, lightning and intensity.  And I may have jumbled them up so they are nothing like anything I have ever really seen.  They are now my own pictures.

I have asked a group of artists to respond to, “The Picture I Carry in My Head”, with a single piece of work.
