​Current exhibitions

Tohono Chul Gallery, Tucson, AZ, Paperworks:Forming the Effect, Affecting the form

PaperWorks: Forming the Effect, Affecting the Form 
can be seen as a response to 2020 being the Sonoran Desert’s driest year on record with each artist reflecting on the affecting effects of drought and deluge. What is really is, is a collection of works by a group of thoughtful and sensitive artists pooling their talents in admiration of the natural world and its resilient perseverance in any season.  There is a parallel here to the way an artist creates something magical and beautiful from something found, raw, and unpredictable to the way the desert does the same with what sometimes feels like a single drop of rain.
“Nothing stays the same once the rains arrive. Forms shift and mutate all around us. From the parched browns of our driest season we are transformed into a lush green flower filled landscape. Desert dwellers respond similarly to our rains, as the food source rebounds and many use this time for searching out mates. Rain – It is a lively time of change in the Sonoran Desert.”
Featuring work by PaperWorks members: Vanessa Dearing, Helen Baribeau, lyn hart, Carol Morgan, Bobbie Wilson, C.J. Shane, Judy Derickson, Beata Wehr, and Jo Andersen.
