Prayers & Joking is an installation of mixed media drawings and paintings by Baltimore-based artist Cara Ober. The exhibition underscores Ober’s layered approach to image-making, which is at once meditative and absurdist. Taking motifs from her upbringing such as wallpaper, textiles, tattoos, reference books and graffiti, Ober combines abstract and representational forms to weave together stories that explore conflict and relationships on a two-dimensional surface.
