Duplex is pleased to present our next exhibition Erika Rios Hickle’s I Will Cease to Be (I) opening THIS Sunday, March 5th from 6-8pm 👁📍
In a new series of mixed media wall works and sculptures inspired by St. Teresa de Avila’s influential text The Interior Castle, Rios Hickle explores her own visual interpretation of the religious figure, most famously eroticized in Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Baroque altarpiece “The Ecstasy of St. Teresa.”
Referencing domestic interiors and architectural motifs of Mexican Catholic Churches, Rios Hickle combines remnants of old, sun-bleached, moth eaten, and torn fabric, with photography, drawing, and collage to form her own makeshift alters reflecting an archive of collective maternal history. Simultaneously becoming and disappearing, the altars bring viewers into contact with St. Teresa’s miraculous experience which took place at a moment when her body and mind was at the brink of death.
Spanning two physical locations in New York City at Duplex and in Providence, RI at Apartment 13, Rios Hickle mimics sites of religious pilgrimage in which images of the artist’s and Saint’s disjointed body parts transform into holy relics.

I Would Cease To Be II/II is open by appointment and on Wednesdays 2-5 pm and Sundays 3-6 pm! #erikarioshickle #erikahickle
A 16th century Spanish mystic, religious reformer, and prolific writer, St. Teresa defended bodily devotion. She described her experiences of divine ecstasy during bouts of illness in which her body and consciousness dissolved, leaving only the pain and joy of a sublime union with God.
Perceiving female mysticism, prayer, and ecstasy as defiant acts of freedom against the patriarchal hegemony of the Catholic Church, I Would Cease To Be (I) intertwines images of the artist with the famous saint, honoring Rios Hickle’s ancestral legacy and exposing the complicated relationships between piety, sexuality, mortality, pain, and pleasure.
