Dimmitt Contemporary Art presents "Remedies," a solo exhibition by Oakland-based artist Carmen McNall.

"Remedies" explores the spiritual and regenerative qualities of nature’s gifts, both physically and on a deeper emotional level. Female figures embody healers and caregivers, where viewers are welcomed into moments of nurture and comfort. Grounded poses root them like the earth, while quilt-like patterns weave generational knowledge across their forms, echoing landscapes within the body. Sacred fruits, herbs, and flowers symbolize medicinal offerings, reinforcing the idea that women, like these vessels of nature, hold ancient wisdom and the power to heal.

McNall’s visual language is deeply rooted in handmade craftsmanship. The dynamic interplay of bold color, organic texture, and rhythmic carving emphasizes the connection between body and landscape, reinforcing the idea that both are vessels for memory, intuition, and healing energy. McNall’s distinctive practice blends painting with intricate wood-carving, creating richly textured surfaces that reveal the process behind each piece. Her faceless female figures evoke goddess-like muses, exuding strength, confidence, and divine feminine energy. Set within vibrant, patterned landscapes that transcend time, these figures embody the role of healers and caregivers, inviting viewers into a space of comfort and restoration.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through May 31.
