Somewhere in the tangle of limbs and roots… Deborah Jack, Evidence 1
Opening: Friday, Nov 19, 5:30-8pm “The red flowers of the flamboyant tree carry with them an inherent beauty as well as a past that includes rebellion, revolt, and emancipation. The land for me is a witness to the events that occur/occurred on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten, both trauma and healing. The Caribbean reality carries with it constantly evolving opposites that coexist on a daily basis. Beauty and tragedy live together in an uneasy harmony, but together nonetheless.” In photography, painting, video/sound installation, and text, Deborah Jack deals with transcultural existence, memory, re-memory, and hurricanes. Her work has been exhibited internationally. Jack received her MFA from SUNY Buffalo and currently teaches art at New Jersey City University. Gallery Hours: M-F 9:00AM–6:30PM Sat-Sun 9:00AM–3:00PM (except holidays)
