An artist talk and opening reception will take place on Wednesday, October 22, from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Baker Gallery. Participating artists include Cat Balco, Natalie Beall, Brian Michael Dunn, Franklin Evans, Anthony Iacono, Alex Jackson, Libby Rosa, and Carrie R.
Blinkers centers on the concepts of change and transformation—both visual and conceptual. Through painting, collage, and mixed media, the artists highlight time, process, and the layered complexity of perception. Process becomes presence, material carries metaphor, and identity emerges through both the visible and hidden textures of making.
Like a blinking turn signal, the exhibition calls attention to a heightened sense of looking. What first appears as relationships of shape and color expands into complex networks of personal symbols, imaginative forms, and material gestures.
The exhibition has been co-organized by Kris Benedict and Lauren Pakradooni of West Chester University’s Department of Art + Design.
