Boundaries for Self-Preservation, <strong>2023</strong><br />

Acrylic + Fabric on Canvas, 14” x 14”<br />

Juror: Enrique Fernández Cervantes<br />

These pieces are from the Borders/Boundaries series in which<br />

I explore the ways people, land, and ideas are divided. The<br />

work often includes ravens as symbols for human behavior.<br />

For this exhibit, I chose two pieces that specifically deal with<br />

communication. In boundaries for self-preservation, the fence<br />

fabric provides protection from angry or hateful words. There are,<br />

however, gaps in the fence that could allow some of the energy<br />

to get through. The other piece, the breakup, shows a lack of<br />

communication. The birds turn away from each other and the<br />

rain gets in between. The erosion of exchanging ideas and active<br />

listening causes separation.<br />
