“Love Governs Form” by 2025 Reno City Artist Jordyn Rae Owens at Metro Gallery at Reno City Hall
June 18 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
| It’s the process of not trusting and falling into doubt that feels like a slow death. With flying, there is an inner knowing, a guiding light. There is no fear, no doubt, because there is only love. Love governs form. What if I learned to find love in the unknown, to find love within the process of uncertainty? What if falling was actually flying – it just takes a little longer to discover that form. City of Reno City Hall Reno, NV – The Metro Gallery at Reno City Hall is hosting “Love Governs Form,” a solo exhibition by 2025 Reno City Artist Jordyn Rae Owens. The show runs from May 19 – July 11, 2025, showcasing fine art photography and collage by Owens that offers a deeply personal and transformative reflection of her experience as a mixed race Black and Filipino woman born and raised in Reno. Her art practice is a contemplative process in which she utilizes photographic mediums to explore the past, present, and future self. By exploring her inner world, her artwork demonstrates the powerful effects of self-reflection and the impact it has on the evolution of identity. Owens won the Award for Excellence in Fine Art Photography at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show in 2022 and 2023 and was a finalist in 2024. She has also been the recipient of the Nevada Arts Council Artist Project Grant. She has previously had solo exhibitions at the Holland Project and North Valley’s Library in addition to numerous group shows. Owens is also a founding member and curator of the collective Of the Sol which provides a platform for artists of color, fostering dialogue on identity, belonging, and social justice through art. |
