Exhibit: On the Precipice

The Glen Arbor Arts Center is showing On The Precipice, a collaborative exhibition of paintings and poems by Linda Alice Dewey and Anne-Marie Oomen. This small exhibition of work has been extended, and closes on August 21.

On The Precipice is composed of nine pastel paintings by Linda Alice Dewey, and nine companion poems by Anne-Marie Oomen. The inspiration for this body of work began with a photograph posted on Facebook, which lead to a creative back-and-forth between the two artists. The GAAC is exhibiting four of these works as an exploration of how artists collaborate, and the tradition of ekphrasis – the practice of creating a literary description of a work of art. A video conversation with both artists goes deeper into why and how artists collaborate, and how visual images inspire a written response.
