Drift: John Diebel & Terrence Payne

Drift,  featuring new work from artists John Diebel and Terrence Payne, presents allegories based on the demagoguery and angst resulting from the woes of an uncertain future. Diebel’s abstracted cut paper collages take the temperature of our current political and social climate while Payne’s drawings examine the fears and anxieties which lay quietly beneath the surface.  While not directly confronting the actors at the center of the melodramatic struggles that will determine our national fate, Drift pursues the underlying motivations and fears that have made this uncomfortably familiar drama repeat itself once again.
