Afterlives

Last night I had the pleasure to gather on Zoom with other artists exhibiting in the latest Online Exhibition from SDA, Afterlives. The guest curator, Destini Ross, generously gave her insights and comments as we previewed the exhibit. To take a look at all the wonderful works, click here

Amulet Bundles for Teenage Drivers, 2022

“Afterlives, our Spring 2023 Selections Online Exhibition, features artists who consider an artwork’s lifespan before and beyond the moment of creation. Whether material or conceptual, their artistic transformations foreground lived experiences including migration, childhood, disability, and climate anxiety. These artists pull us in close and invite us to connect through shared identities or empathize with those outside our own.” – Destini Ross, Guest Curator

Several of my Amulet Bundle series will be on exhibit this summer, including the SAQA Exhibit, Art Evolved: Intertwined. More on that next month. Fantastic Fibers continues at the Yeiser Center through June 24. See an exhibit catalog of all the works. New Legacies opens at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins on June 10.

Reading List:

I have spent most of May gardening and traveling, but managed to read a couple of books: Seven Steeples, by Sara Baume; The Trackers, by Charles Frazier, and Fingersmith, by Sarah Waters (all as paper books).
