Print This PageFragile / Handle With Care Exhibit
Reception January 17, 3-5pm
This exhibit, curated by Carole Jay, reminds us that our planet and its inhabitants live in a symbiotic relationship and that our human actions have repercussions beyond our immediate awareness.
Through photography, print-making, painting, ceramics, mixed media and installations, the artists chosen address a variety of concerns, including the mysterious population decline of honey bees and monarch butterflies, the introduction of aggressive species that have no natural enemies to the detriment of native plants, the effects on the land of clear cutting and other deforestation practices and the accumulation of thrown-away plastic articles in the ocean currents, much of which ends up in the bodies of fish.
the participation artists are Vicky Colombet, Joseph Esser, Tamiko Kawata, Puneeta Mittal, Maureen Palmieri, Pat Pickett, Winn Rae, Barbara Roux, Lorena Salcedo Watson and Tom Steele. While the majority of the artists' works focus on the world of living organisms, Mr. Steele draws attention to the built landscape. his small photographs of sheds and other abandoned buildings on the east end ask whether we are really making progress when we tear down these once useful buildings to make room for another strip mall or housing development.
