Mexican Serape, acrylic on emergency blanket, 84x50, 2022

ANNALEE SCHORR
EMERGENCY

Emergency blankets are used for warmth in dire situations -- at border crossings by refugees and immigrants, by survivors of fires and floods, by the homeless.

My paintings on emergency blankets are based on warmth-giving textiles -- Mexican and Guatemalan serapes, Navajo blankets, and traditional quilts -- and utilize the folded-in grid which emerges when the 5 x 3 in. packets are opened to their 7 x 4 ft. size.  Made of aluminized polymer, emergency blankets look fragile, flimsy and unreliable, but in fact are tough and substantial, and are often life-saving.

BARBARA BAER
BIOPHILIA

Nature is the consummate designer: a source for ideas since art-making began. This exhibit matches animal patterns with structures shaped by gravity and tension. The four installations incorporate elements borrowed from the natural world: river water, rock, air movement, and sunlight.

SENSE OF PLACE

Sense of Place is about real and metaphorical spaces, internal and external landscapes, and what resides in between. The artists explore where the borders and edges of their work meet and how the definition of place expands and contracts through the use of different mediums.
