November 11 - December 6, 2021
From Camiba Gallery:
“Kinship, the exhibit of sculptural paintings by Margaret Smithers-Crump, opens on Thursday November 11th with a reception from 6pm to 8:30pm. The artworks in this exhibit explore the generative potential of interdependent relationships that are framed within the context of life cycles. As always, Margaret is concerned with the interconnected relationship of Earth’s diverse life forms and ecosystems that are so vital to the planet’s survival.
Visually the artworks in Kinship continue the stylistic language Margaret has developed and used over the last 20 years to bring attention to the plight of our world. As she states in her exhibit statement, “Every aspect of nature is inextricably linked and intrinsically valuable”.
