Boldly defined subjects represent what the artists know, see, and feel. We see power in variety. Emphasis is applied using both color and its absence. The interplay of subject is striking – life and loneliness, nature's work and efforts to subdue it, vibrant creatures and the emptiness around them. Perhaps the light in "It Happened Here" will bring a new explosion of color and life. At the "Lily Farm," what happens when harvest comes? On the surface, the artists present opposing views, but when we stop and think, each carries the message of the other. We see raw honesty, presented in visual form.
We could all use "a little more joy."
"Reminding people just how small we are" is a powerful sentiment.
I'd like to go back to the Show Directory now.
