Curatorial Context

Juried by Lovie Olivia and Madi Murphy, Lucky 13 brings together small-scale works that embrace experimentation, intuition, and unexpected visual relationships. Presented by the Visual Arts Alliance at Hardy & Nance Studios, the exhibition highlights artists whose work feels both deliberate and open to discovery—placing Gonzalez’s photography within a broader conversation around perception, transformation, and contemporary image-making.

About the Work

In Before the Snare Broke, Gonzalez turns the camera inward, creating saturated, reflective environments where the self appears doubled, obscured, and caught between performance and revelation. Made before her later spiritual transformation, the photographs now read as fragments from a threshold—images shaped by desire, memory, fractured identity, and the need to be seen.

Hardy & Nance Studios is unique in that it is all about the art and artists. Like them, it is just a little off beat and can be wonderfully surprising. With a wide range of studio sizes and configurations, it has, for the past decade, been home to artists of every style and medium – painting, sculpting, wood working, photography, jewelry, fabric, digital art, mixed media, illustration, videography – just about every visual media has been in residence at some time. And the mix has made for a remarkable and energetic community unlike any other in town.

It is also worth noting that the building is located in Houston’s historic, downtown Art Warehouse District. Some of the buildings in this area have been home to area artists for as many as 60 to 70 years, putting it among the oldest remaining urban art colonies in America.

All the activities and events at Hardy & Nance are the product of the artists themselves, including the Open Studio events. hardyandnancestudios.com
