Contusion

This exhibition navigates the sphere of violence within our society. The work reflects the many ways that social disturbances in our environment are experienced as dark shadows of a deeper unrest. Evidence of a collective distress or unease have manifested in coping mechanisms that these works expose. A common theme of all three artists is a recognition of these shadows on the social consciousness of our society.
