“The curatorial process posed a welcome challenge as I reviewed myriad takes on the Intersections theme—dynamic, innovative, and canny. I endeavored to represent a full range of media and conceptual interpretations, including an energetic painting depicting a dense thicket of intertwined branches, a sly nocturnal fox crossing a desolate roadway, thoughtful portrayals of political dissonance, a large woven sculpture with a precarious cant, and a photograph of an extraterrestrial investigating our landscape. My aim was to create a snapshot illustrating the intersection of connectivity and discord that defines this particular moment in time.”
