Fiber & Light
Celebrating the culmination of Themes + Projects 25th anniversary, the gallery is pleased to announce, Fiber & Light, a two-person legacy exhibition featuring Brigitte Carnochan, the first artist to show with the gallery in 2000, and Patrick Carroll, Carnochan’s grandson and a LA-based contemporary artist. The exhibition, opening February 7, 2026, marks the first time the two artists will show their work side by side, creating a unique artistic dialogue between family members and across generations.
Fiber & Light features photo-based works by Brigitte Carnochan and textile pieces by Patrick Carroll. Brigitte's layered encaustic photographs alter natural forms into luminous, tactile objects, while Patrick’s knit textiles, sourced from the fashion industry, stretch into sculptural compositions shaped by language and material. Together, the works in Fiber & Light reflect a shared attentiveness to the tangible materials and intangible creativity that shapes their practices. Gallery co-founder and curator Bryan Yedinak reflects, “Exhibited in tandem, Brigitte and Patrick’s work illustrates the enduring resonance of creativity within a family—an artistic lineage that adapts, transforms, and yet remains profoundly intertwined.”
