Exhibition Brief: We live in a world that feels increasingly divided and yet a primary outcome of experiencing art can be to bring people together, bridging differences, healing rifts and exposing truths that lead to long-term reconciliation. Bridging Divides requires intention. It might mean spanning generations, healing divides within family, solving rifts between competing artistic mediums, or finding peace with one's own conflicts, to name a few. Creating bridges requires bravery. Entering into the process takes effort and fortitude; often including experimentation, and risk-taking. Art makes real such struggles, bringing them to the fore and making them visible to viewers, and laying oneself bare. Changing, ‘becoming’, and questioning are universals, and both highly personal and infinitely relatable. Please submit art that displays the concept of ‘Bridging Divides’ through whatever genre and style suits you; you may be literal, abstract, fantastical ~ this is entirely up to you.

This range of mine celebrates women, filled with dreams and the world at their feet, yet not always recognizing or celebrating their ‘different’. This particular piece focuses on finding peace in being different.
