Start Here [detail], artwork by Sian Robertson

Artist-in-Residence

Sian Robertson

October 20–November 13, 2020

Artist statement: "I create three-dimensional art from used maps, which themselves are a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional world. I ‘excavate’ the maps – hand cutting away specific areas, which then heightens the focus on others. With spaces between the roads of a map removed the viewer is able to peer deep into the mass of tangled layers of streets, perhaps a symbol of the messiness of interconnected lives."

Artist-in-Residence: Jennifer Moller

January 23–March 4, 2020

Artist Statement: The photographic series images I titled pools, mighty plenitude shares the same inspiration as many of my other projects in that they are both motivated by a desire to be observant, still and connect with something of the divine in the corporal.
