This body of work is currently on view at the Bennington Free Library as part of the Wall works program, till Jan 2018
This show features a combination of prints and paintings that present messages that seem direct and others that are are warnings if you only know where to look for them.
The Canary Warnings are a series of paintings inspired by the practice of keeping a canary in a coal mine as an early warning system for miners. When the bird dies the air will soon be too toxic for humans as well. The canary serves a kind of guardian, like a life force monitor. This series considers a myriad of possibilities about the ways in which one could be warned of tragedies or other dangerous situations.
