there is little left at all
​
On view: January 3–24, 2026
Opening reception: January 3, 6–10PM
​
The Orange County Center for Contemporary Art is pleased to present there is little left at all, a group exhibition curated by Southern California artists Henry Littleworth and Bella Marinos. The show features six artists united by their multidimensional approaches to material, memory, and ritualistic object-making: Littleworth, Marinos, Arianna Patterson, Ika Pearl, Lev Sibilla, and Helena Westra.
​
Animated by a spirituality rooted in reverence for the past and a preference for embodied ritual over any specific theology, this exhibition is an altar to ephemeral histories and emotions. Westra’s golden grass field and immersive soundscape mark the threshold of the exhibition, this hallowed space; further inside, sculptural assemblage, ceramics, drawing, painting, and photographic pieces fuse personal memory and folkloric influences, constituting a collection of evidently sacred items with histories that complicate and coalesce. Part of California’s lineage of assemblage and experimentation with printmaking and clay, these works are formed from layers of material, including ceramic, charcoal, cyanotype, each accruing and exerting their own ardent energies. Moving among these objects enacts a rite of passage—a remembrance, and a renewal.
