Marisa Skelpsa-Muñoz — Cackle, Wail, Shake!
Five15Arts@chartreuse, Phoenix AZ
June 5-28, 2026
Reception: First Friday, June 5, 2026
In her debut solo exhibition, Cackle, Wail, Shake! Marisa Skelpsa-Muñoz shares works born from her exploration of divesting from internalized systems of oppression and remembering the power available to us through movement and interconnectivity. 

Marisa grows these paintings through contemplation on the fleshiness of pleasure, the innate erotic intelligence of life, and the breaking apart of ancestral shame. She stays dedicated to a wild color palette that celebrates the chaotic and the sensual while existing as big, resounding, joyful laughter in the face of western chromophobia. 

This work is a love letter to you, as you are, and an invitation to move and be moved.

Sheri Ashton’s Suspended inhabits the charged pause just before arrival—the moment an elevator slows, holding the body between motion and stillness, anticipation and release. Here, time stretches into a psychological threshold where internal voices clash, restrain, and quietly offer the possibility of change.
Each work is informed by a single poem, a private letter addressed outward—to the friend Ashton forgot she had: herself. The paintings function as both confession and observation, giving form to what resists language: the paradox of wanting more while needing less, the tension between longing and self-limitation.
The work invites viewers to linger in that pause—to explore new landscapes and recognize the voices that shape their own thresholds, and to remain there long enough for something to shift.
