Beacons of Hope exhibition opening at Concordia University-St. Paul
Concordia University Art Gallery
1301 Marshall Avenue, St. Paul, MN
I am pleased to announce the opening of my latest exhibition, Beacons of Hope curated by Dr. Megan Arney Johnston at Concordia University St. Paul. The site-specific works center on the conceptual and gestural elements of hope. Concurrently, I am an artist-in-residence at the University. To learn more about the exhibition, please visit the Concordia event page here.
Beacons of Hope opens Thursday, September 16th from 5-7 PM with an Artist talk at 5:30. Please join me. If you’re unable to attend, the artist talk will be recorded and shared at a later date, and the works will be on view through October 13th.
In conjunction with the exhibition at Concordia, I have been working with Concordia students to create Hope Wall I and II in the gallery as part of my artist-in-residence program at the University. There is a publication with an essay by Dr. Megan Arney Johnston and some images from the exhibition available at the opening.
I am excited to bring my project I Love You Institute to Festival Unbound at Touchstone Theater in Bethlehem, PA. During the pre show period of each festival event, I will be guiding the community through the creation of a Community Quilt, inspired by the prompt of “What are you grateful for?” The piece will culminate in a colorful piece of visual art symbolizing our communal gratitude and coming together. During the Closing Ceremonies the community will carry the community quilt to the river and hang it from the bridge.
Artist-in-Residence
In conjunction with the exhibition at Concordia, I have been working with Concordia students to make collaborative installations in the gallery as part of my artist-in-residence program at the University. Hope Wall I and II in the exhibition are the results of this collaboration.
