Participating Artists: Nina I. Buxenbaum, Saul Chernick, Erica Eyres, Lynn Palewicz, Nathaniel M. Quinn, Mary A Valverde, Haeri Yoo

This exhibition focuses on the way that seven artists utilize the language of drawing and the idea of fragmentation as a means to understand and communicate ideas about the self.

Identity is a physical and metaphysical construct that exists in a constant state of change. Delineated markers of identity such as culture, ethnicity, spirituality, sexuality, beauty and gender are often smeared, smudged, severed, drawn, erased, and drawn again. Nina Buxenbaum, Saul Chernick, Erica Eyres, Lynn Palewicz, Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Mary Valverde, and Haeri Yoo each utilize various mediums and sub-themes to represent this perpetual state. – Guest Writer – Rose Oluronke Ojo
