"It Feels Like The First Time represents a boundless environment of mixed media conversations presented through archival images, video recordings, sculptures, drawings, automated and audible works, and so much more. This exhibition tastefully creates a sensorial tension, a push and pull, between material memory, existing power struggles, belief systems and the contradictory, uncanny moments of modern life."
“Sorgini's infatuation with motherhood and home life began after her child, Ari was born. Documenting the emotional and intellectual transformation that motherhood prompted for her–the intricate dimensions of intimacy. Trancending Lisa to a heightened sensory experience of living off little to no sleep–ultimately led her to step out of her own life as a mother to begin photographing the lives of other family units. Her images display the most tender and fleeting moments of motherhood, rarely show specific identities. Tiny hands gripping at clothing and skin. A delicate assemblage of flesh set against the backdrop of quiet familiarity. Depicting the tension between the overwhelm and the mundanity of these early experiences of motherhood–love and affection, intensity and neediness, claustrophobia and inescapability.”
