A Mosaic Journey, Peregrinations on Being Human by Cynthia Fisher, Gallery
We **** Sapiens are a fascinating species and our meteoric rise to the pinnacle of life on earth is truly remarkable. In this body of work Cynthia Fisher reflects on our collective selves, at times deserving our scientific name, ‘wise man’, highlighting our curiosity, creativity and quest for knowledge and understanding. And yet -- we cannot overlook how our anthropocentric worldview is bringing about catastrophic environmental destruction. What does our future hold? Cynthia Fisher presents this collection of mosaics to stimulate your thoughts on BEING HUMAN.

Coming Together by Margo Ezekiel, Main Hall
Margo Ezekiel works mostly with prints and papers she makes using a gelli plate (a ¼” thick rectangle of gelatin that serves as a printing plate) which allows her to add texture, stencils, paint and markers, and overprint the same piece of paper multiple times. Sometimes the result is a strong print that will serve as a base for a collage. Other times the prints will serve as collage papers. The possibilities are endless.
