Event Description

Stevie Haley Delgado builds transitory worlds through papier-mâché sculpture, constructed cardboard spaces, and the interplay of light and shadow, creating atmospheric environments that invite exploration, curiosity, and reflection. This work explores the complexity of childhood wonder when muddled with grief, tragedy, and a decaying sense of self. Central to this practice are echoes of her lived experiences—particularly the fleeting nature of young queer relationships and the tragedy that can often surround them. "In the end, I just miss the before," runs Oct. 24–Dec. 7, 2025, in McWethy Hall's Peter Paul Luce Gallery on the Cornell College campus. Gallery hours are Monday–Friday 9 a.m.– 4 p.m. and Sunday 2–4 p.m. The opening reception will be held on Friday, October 24, 4–6 p.m.
