<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;">This is my big goodbye, my love letter, my thank you note to the folks and cosmic forces that swirled around and got me here. It has been an honor and a privilege to be able to manage the HCC gallery programs (which began for me in 1996) and in particular the Taber Gallery from its very beginnings in 1999. For my final exhibition, “Upward and Onward,” I invited friends, family and colleagues to contribute their art or work from their collections and join in this exhibition celebration. I left it pretty open ended as to what they could submit: using any traditional media, old work, new work, and/or work in their personal collections. I sent over 100 email invitations and received about 40 responses. I also brought in works from my personal collection as well as from the college, and tossed in a couple of my own paintings. Once the works were all delivered, I went to work creating an installation with this wide variety of submissions. My goal was to include everything - which was almost accomplished. There is a whole art to the installation process. It’s much like creating a collage. One needs to find a way to bring companionship to dispirit works, to give the entire space a sense of flow, and though quite crowded, give a sense of the individual pieces ability to stand alone as well as talk nicely with each other. The only preplanned part of this installation was requesting the photographs of people kissing to pepper throughout the gallery. Because, well, like I said, this is a love letter. </p>

A regular feature of the painting process involved the use of newspaper as a blotting agent. The newspaper pages used for blotting were saved and re-used. Over time I found I had several stacks of blotting paper. These pages became interesting in themselves as painted surfaces. I discovered I liked the way the newspaper accepted the paint. I began to work with these pages, expecting that they had possibilities in a painterly direction. I liked the idea that their visual impact resulted purely as a function of the painting process. I tried to keep the structure of the painting simple. The idea was to let the paintings develop on their own as much as possible, with me driving the action. The paint would take care of itself. My responsibilities would be to stay busy with the working process, and pay attention to the moment by moment changes on the painting surface. I selected a few simple formats, without trying to premise specific resolutions. Periodically I would review the many pages that had resulted from this activity. I would occasionally select a page that seemed to have a certain presence. It was almost always a surprise to discover such a page. Since this was a new experience, I felt I was always trying to catch up with the pages. I had to learn a new aesthetic.</span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The more I handled the pages the more I found myself aware of the material nature of each page. The paper was delicate, flexible, and light weight. I was used to working with larger stretched canvases, or heavy paper mounted on large drawing boards. Just moving them around was becoming a physical struggle, especially as I was working in a confined space. But, the pages were worked freely, without being stretched. I could proceed from page to page easily. The only practical problem was finding enough flat space for them to dry between applications of paint. I had to use floor space in the house away from the studio.</span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The flatness of the picture plain was a focal point of studying painting in the sixties. I had taught that principle, and I firmly believed in it. But, with repeated handling of the pages I realized the fact of flatness. I further realized that no matter how much effort I made per page, there was only a skin of paint separating the viewer from the paper surface. Another reality was the newspaper, itself. I never looked for content or narrative in the paintings, but I was constantly engaged with the print copy: news, sports, advertizements, obituaries, recipes, graphics. I could not escape the fact that my personal reality as a painter was connected in some way with the reality of the news. And, the news was people.</span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The paintings themselves would always be about the process that produced them. But, I could not ignore my place in the community.</span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><br /></div></div><div><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; font-size: 12px; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;"><div dir="auto" style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;"><div style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;"><br /></div><div style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;"><br /></div><div style="-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space; word-wrap: break-word;"><br /></div></div></div></div>Amy Johnquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16350358832967269823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641854667272295254.post-2165826956763813432021-10-01T17:08:00.003-07:002021-10-01T17:47:34.586-07:00<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b> On Campus at the Taber!</b></span></h1><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>Cosmology of the Body: </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>Paintings and Drawings by </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b>Anna Bayles Arthur</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-VrANps8MyL49TEH935-YWuSZRYnJHHsCwN6TaI4ENZidhYvvCRBevg8rElzZhhBfsT5qPx26EJD6b1uIxOYdUHLen69HvHubfUGKprmMtPzAs-Uq2v6ZHJynPzFmKhiCdG17OlDyxk/s1706/Visitor.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1377" data-original-width="1706" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-VrANps8MyL49TEH935-YWuSZRYnJHHsCwN6TaI4ENZidhYvvCRBevg8rElzZhhBfsT5qPx26EJD6b1uIxOYdUHLen69HvHubfUGKprmMtPzAs-Uq2v6ZHJynPzFmKhiCdG17OlDyxk/w400-h323/Visitor.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Sept. 20 through Dec. 9, 2021</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Current Hours: Mon. - Thurs. 10am - 5pm (during regular school sessions) </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Making art in this historical moment</span>:</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Within the context of a global pandemic, state-sponsored terror, climate catastrophe, corporate coup's, and the looming spectacle of mass destruction, I am perpetually questioning the utility of art. We live in a media-saturated culture, are daily bombarded by images, sounds, symbols, and stories. Yet somehow, this ancient drive to create remains, the impulse to channel whatever it is, and to reveal it to the world. Just as our ancestors documented their humanity on the walls of a cave, so we continue, despite these looming questions, to manifest something where once there was nothing. This reckoning for the artist is life-long and can only be accomplished, I think, by the perpetual embrace of mystery. Within this reckoning and this embrace, I have found not so much a rational explanation for my pursuit as an artist, but rather a new faith in the calling. And given the alarming historical context within which I am called as an artist, I can only define this work as the thing in my life that most approximates prayer. </span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About the work</span>:</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> From the time that my tiny hand could grip a cheap, #2 pencil, I have been compelled to the blank page. Pieces of cardboard from a discarded package, the back side of the old, green and white striped computer paper, all of it held so much allure. The blank page was full of possibility, a window through which the child could invent her world.</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Through a lifetime practice of image-making, a unique visual vocabulary has developed. The process has always been highly intuitive, a playful tug between figure and ground. Layers of transparent pigments become the atmosphere through which forms float or sit, emerge or disintegrate. There is an explicit organicism that is both familiar and unfamiliar: biology, landscape, things mechanical, parts of composite bodies. These constructed relationships reveal narratives that echo the drama of our human experience and the intricate movements of the natural world. Each painting is a glimpse into a contained world, a microcosmic surrogate for all of the mystery that is a body, a system, an environment.</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> Through a meditative process of delving within, the paintings become landscapes of memory, dream, and invention – a manifestation of all that this body contains: primordial ocean worlds, utilitarian objects, symbols of our hands' work: chairs, tables, architecture; suggestions of all manner of biological movements, the ceaseless horizon, the depths of the human eye. I go back for the child with her tiny hands and fascination with fantasy, terror, things beautiful and other-worldly. Grief and longing can likely be found in each painting, as well as the inescapable tug of one's own mortality. How does it all relate? Where do all of these things exist within us; how might we chose to access them? Are there points of intersection within our individual bodies and between us, both as a species and as an interconnected part of the living pulse of the planet? It is here that an intimation of the meaning in this image-making ritual is revealed. All that came before, each isolated event that built us, continues to move within, rippling into the now and the yet-to-come. </span></p><p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Gallery note:</span></p><p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Though we encourage you to experience this exhibition live, Anna's work may be viewed on line at: </span></p><p style="font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.taberartgallery-holyokecommunitycollege.com">https://www.taberartgallery-holyokecommunitycollege.com</a></span></p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /><b><br /></b></span></p>Amy Johnquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16350358832967269823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641854667272295254.post-47707386963136364652021-05-24T13:29:00.001-07:002021-05-24T13:32:49.297-07:00<h1 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="font-family: arial; font-size: calc(1rem + 1.7999999999999998vw); letter-spacing: 0.02em; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">The 2021 HCC Student Art Show!</span></span></h1><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: arial;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.5720000267028809px;"><b>check it out at:<br /></b></span></span><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-family: arial;"><a href="https://www.taberartgallery-holyokecommunitycollege.com/2021-hcc-student-art-show">https://www.taberartgallery-holyokecommunitycollege.com/2021-hcc-student-art-show</a></span></span></h4><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnI2eR1K0w6OrLUCCwe0MeyS8urI9YD0KRPRCfw2059ByeP4-IaY_wNJG_CZuL04-JE7Hxj31QKnw2jky9wDA_3OrmBpPoUumIgM5QR5EkG3QaT4iA20zo49P5-IfQsVON6zyuLLqLq3A/s1575/Poster-Vic-Sardinha.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1575" data-original-width="1275" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnI2eR1K0w6OrLUCCwe0MeyS8urI9YD0KRPRCfw2059ByeP4-IaY_wNJG_CZuL04-JE7Hxj31QKnw2jky9wDA_3OrmBpPoUumIgM5QR5EkG3QaT4iA20zo49P5-IfQsVON6zyuLLqLq3A/w518-h640/Poster-Vic-Sardinha.jpg" width="518" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Amy Johnquesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16350358832967269823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641854667272295254.post-78179754732740541942021-02-03T11:44:00.002-08:002021-02-03T11:47:05.982-08:00<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.taberartgallery-holyokecommunitycollege.com/2021-hcc-faculty-exhibition" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGmN66GeJwXXOQV4_JmvI5VQf3PAdiHBbsYNGnWDmcgpHU4h8xi1SG2M0ghXcqKvNpZ_Zgv_6xU962aLSdAWb73GPnjtnOlBssi65P-AM0wO9tQZ3icANvWS2QjsLtxbmh5KpXV19RFXc/s16000/Faculty+Show+Flier.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 2px; text-align: center;"><b>Announcing the 2021 HCC Visual Art Faculty Exhibition </b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>At Home with Our Histories</i> is a series of work that examines images of Americana: doll collections, gun collections, antique furniture, yearbooks, toys, etc. Perhaps as an instinctive response to try to make sense of our current culture by looking back. Or maybe, to find connections that may explain why our history seems so present and unresolved. This series is a reflection of my own, personal histories and a societal, American history. Through my work, I acknowledge that the social problems of today are deeply rooted in our past. Through this dialog with history, I hope to contribute to the redirection of social, psychological and spiritual aspects of the future.</div>

The Taber Gallery is kicking off the Spring semester with a pop-up exhibition of vintage posters from the collection of Ted Eiseman and Juan Vazquez. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Juan Vazquez is a retired educator and longtime musician from Northampton, Mass. He has been collecting poster art for over 40 years. Ted Eiseman a visual artist, has been the proprietor of Funny Face Poster Restorations in Haydenville, Mass for 25 years. The two met about 4 years ago when Vazquez approached Eiseman about restoring some of the posters in his collection. The two hit it off and have since been working together on music projects and sharing their interest in vintage posters.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Some of this collection was shown at the Anchor House of Artists last year. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Vintage posters are a </span><span style="color: black; font-kerning: none;">collectable art </span><span style="font-kerning: none;">form that is available to almost everyone. Values vary but even very rare or collectible posters can be found in the $400.00 to $2,000.00 range. A poster is considered vintage if it is at least twenty-five years old and is an original advertising print.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Although printed public advertisements can be traced to the 15th century, the poster as it is understood today did not emerge until around 1860, given impetus by the invention of lithography, which allowed brilliantly colored posters to be produced cheaply and easily.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #434343;"> Many of the poster artists went uncredited and remain anonymous, but there’s a cadre of well-known poster artists as well. </span></div>
<div style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-kerning: none;">Early on posters were printed using a complicated process of stone or plate lithography but over time other printing techniques (photolithography, woodblocks, silkscreens, photo-offset) were used.</span></div>
<div style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Because vintage posters were generally printed on low quality papers it’s important to preserve and protect them. In order to do this they are first bathed and then mounted on an archival paper which is pasted to linen. After that they may be restored or repaired. Ted Eiseman is a professional poster conservationist and in addition to linden backing the posters on display here, in some cases may have also touched up areas by matching paints, repairing tears or removing stains. It is unusual to find a pristine antique poster and collectors often need to have these repairs done.</span></div>

I discovered metal as an art form while at UMASS in 1992. Always a hoarder of the discarded and used, I was drawn to the shapes and patinas of the old rusty bits and pieces more than the clean shiny sheets of new metal available in the foundry. Manipulating a shape with heat continues to be pure magic for me.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;">
For Found I have brought together some older pieces and more recent ones to explore how my use of materials have shifted. Paper has slowly become an important element in my work and learning to weave and incorporate wire has become increasingly interesting to me.</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">For this show I focused on work that included pieces found in the local area. As a lifelong Holyoke resident and history fanatic I am fascinated by the immediate area surrounding the HCC campus. My art has always showcased that love of all things old and forgotten. Walking in the woods on a hunt for art supplies is a new adventure every time. As a student here I would spend time between classes walking the abandoned trolley tracks. Several pieces in this show came from the ruins of an 1800's cider mill located nearby. Other sculptures include parts found in fields that have long since returned to forest. Some of my shadowbox assemblages contain parts from Mountain Park, a place I went as a child. Other works include my photography of abandoned buildings in the area. I am fascinated by the histories of the individual parts and how they fit together. The parts often lead me to the final direction that the art takes. Sometimes I feel as though I am merely along for the ride as the pieces dictate where they want to be. </span></div>

My current work derives inspiration from the work of 20<sup>th</sup> century master Paul Klee and from traditional ethnographic artwork, especially African masks. These collaged pieces are limited in their color palate. I allow the character of the objects to dominate the surfaces and the integration of disparate materials is subtle and effective. Quirky and humorous, the characters display an inventive use of form and structure as well as a playful take on conventional portraits. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Arial Narrow"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The Taber Gallery is pleased to present a retrospective look at the work of artist and illustrator Gary Hallgren. Rooted in pop culture, Hallgren's approach to the comic art genre is unique from other artists who have ventured in this realm. As Hallgren states, "</span>Pop art can be about more than art or culture, it can be about that most universal of themes: the Human Condition. Familiar newspaper comics characters can carry much symbolism on their black-and-white backs after being infused with the gravitas of easel painting." In addition, Hallgren's visual pleasures of bold designs, distorted realities, finished and unfinished surfaces, canonized humor and the joy of painting are clearly present in this exhibition's selections form his expansive body of work. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Arial Narrow"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Arial Narrow"; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Gary took his B.A. in painting and design from Western Washington State College in 1968. In 1971, he joined a band of radical cartoonists in San Francisco and took on the mighty Walt Disney organization by contributing to this group’s self-published comix books, </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Air Pirates Funnies</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">. These savage parodies, which used Disney’s own characters, were found to be in violation of federal copyright law. The legal wrangling went on for a decade and people like Paul Krassner (<i>The Realist</i>) and noted critic Nat Hentoff were in support of the Air Pirates, but alas, Gary now has a permanent injunction against using Disney characters in unauthorized ways. However, he considers all others to be fair game.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Magazines and other print outlets have provided a livelihood for Gary for 45 years. His freelance illustrations have appeared in </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Time</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">, </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">The New York Times</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">, and </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">The Wall Street Journal</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">. Balancing these august publications are </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Mad</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">, </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Marvel Comics</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">, </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Screw</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">, and a hundred in between. Since 2003 book illustration has been a mainstay, and </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">You: An Owners' Manual</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> by Doctors Mehmet Oz and Michael Roizen was published in early 2005. It sold over a million copies in hard cover. Most recently, Gary supplied the finished drawings for Hagar The Horrible.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">These are archetypal symbols that exist within my dreams. I am constantly reworking within this language in order to complicate their meanings. My work is a place for me to explore a dream state that is not tethered to societal standards, that is egalitarian and gender is a limitless spectrum. In this series that has spanned over past three years, I am still constantly running into the same ideas. These images become a visual language that continually reflect a deeper subconscious meaning. I think these symbols come from a place of wanting a renewed symbolism. I feel as though when I paint, nothing is ever what it seems to be. There is a culmination of actions that occur when the medium of watercolor and sumi ink interact on paper. Some of my brush strokes are unintentional and spontaneous. The result does not need to be defined because it is apart of the ambiguous nature of my work.</span></span></div>

CONFRONT is an exhibition about facing the things that control, manipulate, embolden, debilitate, arouse, and categorize us all. Eliza Fernand’s large-scale fabric installations act as pedagogical tools and aim to spur conversation about history, gender, disparity, consent, and our present-moment struggles. After studying sculpture, video, and performance in Portland, OR, Fernand has led a cross-country career; attending over a dozen artist residencies and directing her own traveling field study of American quilt-making traditions.</div>
