THE ORDINARY UNBOUND
Judith Bowerman, Meredith Broberg, Tracey Cockrell, Nancy Diessner
Four artists pursue solace, meaning, and wonder beyond human preoccupations
The Ordinary Unbound invites viewers to reflect on the ways our lives resonate with the natural world around and within us. The exhibition offers new work by Judith Bowerman, Meredith Broberg, Tracey Cockrell, and Nancy Diessner, each artist responding to their local landscape.
While these artists look in different directions and explore diverse media, their work shares a profound engagement with nature-- as muse, medium, and metaphor. Investigations with this work range from the deep mystery of water, the language of plants and landscapes, the interconnectedness of all life, and the relationship of the brain to the natural world. Bowerman’s paintings reference technology and how it provides second chances and seeing beyond normal vision; Broberg’s photographs offer portals to a more mysterious realm; Cockrell’s sculptures vibrate with the sounds of the landscape; and Diessner’s prints investigate the rage of water and the flow of metaphor. Bypassing human language as a dominant mode for making meaning, the work collectively provides a space to listen, to look, to question, and to move into attunement with the natural world.
For over two years, Bowerman, Broberg, Cockrell, and Diessner have met regularly, engaging in studio visits, cross-pollination of ideas, and enthusiastic support of one another.
ARTISTS RECEPTION: October 13th, 5-8pm as part of Arts Night Out
