“Nurture / Nature”, curated by Lauren Rosenthal McManus, is a group exhibition of eight female artists from across the United States.
Each of the artists in this exhibition centers her practice in an ethic of interdependence with both biological and ecological families. The show will feature a variety of working materials and methods from upcycled plastic grocery bags to botanically derived inks, and documentary film to fiber art. While some of the included works expose the tedious and often undervalued aspects of domestic labor, others illuminate the awe and wonder that coexist within the seemingly mundane aspects of daily life. Together, these works reveal the complex dynamics present in relationships based on caring.
Mapping Our Watershed, the mixed media work I co-created with residents of Cheltenham Township, is included in this exhibition.
