Drift

Drift, a juried show as selected by Tessa Beck, is on view October 12 - December 17, 2023. The opening reception is Thursday, October 12 from 6 - 8 pm.

Monumental sand dunes, boats on the water, smoke from wildfires, displacement due to environmental crisis… We observe constant states of drift, some exacerbated by human activity. The word drift refers to movement driven by an outside force. What does it mean to be moved or carried without guidance or control? When we drift, we are reminded of our ability to adapt, change, and intervene. Engaging with environmental challenges provides an opportunity to refresh our perspective and curiosity and set our course. The following artists were selected by juror Tessa Beck to exhibit work that explores drift as it relates to the natural world.
