SMC Art Exhibit
*

The Canary Warnings are a series of paintings inspired by the practice of keeping a canary in a coal mine as an early warning system for miners. When the bird dies the air will soon be too toxic for humans as well. The canary serves a kind of guardian, like a life force monitor. This series considers a myriad of possibilities about the ways in which one could be warned of tragedies or other dangerous situations.  It is my hope that the viewer will “read” and interpret the Canary much like reading tea leaves or deciphering a Rorschach test.

Exhibit runs through September 13, 2018
