“The histories that collide are not just the histories of the Greco-Roman civilizations and Egypt, but also art histories and ways of framing these moments."

True to its title, the solo show features a playful sampling of Toelke’s varied mediums and practices—from bold, colorful works on paper depicting jewels to actual jewelry, such as pendants, rings, and a new take on the vintage charm bracelet.

There are so many rich and meaningful layers of complexity in this exhibit, its inspiration, and its significance, both for those directly impacted, and more universally, by drug overdose and opioid addiction.

The artworks in "someone decides, hawk or dove" take their visual note from artefacts, architecture, flags, and musical instruments that point to a collective ongoing reckoning with the global colonial project.
