The third in a series of triennial traveling exhibitions organized by the Lyndon House Arts Center and The Georgia Museum of Art, the Highlighting Contemporary Art in Georgia series, “Picture This”, curated by Didi Dunphy selects the work of 11 Georgia-based painters who focus on narratives. The exhibition will travel for 24 months throughout Georgia.

I’m excited to be a part of “Detour” a virtual juried exhibition hosted by the Emery Community Arts Center at the University of Maine at Farmington.

Thank you Ann Bartges and Samantha Taylor for curating this exhibition, and for the great write up about the show. Here’s a snippet:

“Emery Community Arts Center’s premiere online exhibition, DETOUR, engages our present moment of pervasive disruption caused by the global coronavirus pandemic. The artworks included in this exhibition capture this moment from the viewpoints of 35 artists and collectives, representing local (to Farmington, Maine), national and international perspectives on the disruption, fear, and devastation, but also humor, gratitude, and transformation, that define the COVID-19 era.

Gallery 2: Space explores the contraction and expansion of physical and emotional spaces during experiences of quarantine and sheltering in place. Here, representations of architectural space merge with intangible space, both physiological and imaginary… Melissa Huang’s video, One Month In, merges the physical experience of confinement and isolation with psychological experiences of stress and anxiety.”
