LIBBY ROSA
The Matchbox, Solo Exhibition at Ortega y Gasset Projects, Brooklyn, NY, Jan 2026

The Matchbox

The Matchbox is a solo installation featuring new paintings and sculptures by Libby Rosa that explores desire, containment, and impermanence. The gallery transforms into a matchbox filled with more than matches: an embedded, barred window, enlarged sewing pins (bent, twisted, and unused), and flame-shaped panel paintings.
