Kill Your Captors, Hannah Epstein’s latest solo exhibition at Steve Turner, features new hooked rugs, most of which she created after moving into an 1886 church in Mahone Bay, a small town one hour from Halifax. The hysteria of 2020 and meme culture that ensued are depicted in some works, while others depict monsters looking on. The meme works relate to Cancel Culture, Elon Musk and Grimes, Xi Jinpeng’s China, sacred cows and hyperstimulation. Battles are brewing and monsters are watching.
Kill Your Captors is on view through February 6 at Steve Turner, 6830 Santa Monica Blvd
