Terrior is a show by Torey Akers, all the way from Brooklyn, and Jaydra Johnson from Portland.

They "interrogate desire in material terms, using want, rather than need, to unearth the buried histories of non-normative intimacy. Their work reinterprets classic expressions of longing such as the nude, Victorian lover’s eyes, and stained glass."
