Journeys

October 2004
Jeffrey Crussell and Nancy Harlan, and guest artist William Catling.

We take many different kinds of journeys. There are physical, spiritual, emotional, and life journeys, to name a few. Passages from one state or place to the next. Some journeys we take alone, some with company.

If life itself is a journey, not a destination, then Journeys is about taking time to reflect on life's journey and explore the ways that the journey shapes us as human beings. Journeys will include episodes from the artist's lives, small vignettes or passages.

Three women artists exploring our world through the media of paint. Their work has figurative elements but is not strictly representational.  Bobbie’s new series reflects on subjective presence in inanimate objects, the metaphors that I am using is "stone walls", from monolithic structures to dwellings that can reflect safety or imprisonment.
