Just Resting Your Eyes

ANGELA GUERRA WALLEY

Just Resting Your Eyes is a site-specific exhibition exploring love, memory, and dreams

across three generations. Angela Guerra Walley’s multidisciplinary works are inspired

by her family folklore and examine societal expectations of women, particular after

marriage. The title references a phrase Guerra Walley’s father used throughout her

childhood and makes a connection between the many moments we all close our

eyes - to daydream, embrace, kiss, weep, sleep, dream, and die.

cactusBARN is an independent artist run exhibition space that is located in the King

William neighborhood. Established by Leigh Anne Lester and Jayne Lawrence in 2023.

cactusBARN is an independent artist run exhibition space that is located in the King William neighborhood @ 613 Mission Street, SATX. It can be visited by appointment. 

cactusBARN is an extension of cactus bra SPACE. What is cactus bra SPACE, you ask? It was the artist studio of Leigh Anne Lester and Jayne Lawrence that became an exhibition space in 1993 and had exhibitions for 19 years. They put the bra away in 2012.  Leigh Anne and Jayne each pursued their own studio practices and kept feeling the phantom strap of the bra. Bounce to 2023, and now we have cactusBARN.
