On Terrain and Emblem is a group exhibition of four women artists (Jazmine Catasus, Melanie Gonzalez, Harley Ngai Grieco, and Nancy Paredes) working in paper-making, photography, printmaking, and sculpture (co-curated by the artists). This exhibition unearths fragments of memory, 
home, and immigrant lineage through analog / contemporary renderings of landscapes and cultural / domestic motifs. Each artist performs 'excavations' of the self and cultural recollection by exploring their relationships with objects and materials. The work assumes the role of artifact; proposing that the act of excavation can become a meditation on home. Through exhibiting scenes, icons, and artifacts from their personal histories, each artist’s ‘renderings’ take on unique forms, unified through multidisciplinary processes and the ambiguous nature of nostalgia.

*Harley Ngai Grieco is a New York City-based artist to receive a grant through the City Artist Corps Grants program, presented by The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME).
