“Humans have always been fascinated by animals. Between Worlds celebrates and explores that attraction through art. Exhibiting artists Karen Brown, Jennifer Davis, and DC Ice each incorporate anthropomorphism in their artwork; attributing human traits to animals. Although they may have different motivations, all three artists appreciate the story telling, complexity, and freedom that arises with personified characters.
For Karen Brown, her spiritual connection to the natural world fuels her interest in learning the life lessons that animals provide and how they might help us to better understand our own feelings through transformation, enlightenment and wisdom. “My sculptures create a…magical place somewhere between reality and the dream world, between childhood and adulthood, between animal and human.”
The intricate paintings by Jennifer Davis also reside on the edge of reality and provide a narrative quality that explores a fantastical universe full of strange planets, transmuted species and surreal situations. Unlike Brown, Davis isn’t seeking answers. In fact, her paintings may leave one with more questions to ponder than solutions. “Every day my invented language of symbols grows, repeats and changes. My paintings are not meant to be didactic, rather to read like pages torn from a strange storybook full of narrative quandaries and engaging puzzles.”
DC Ice’s illustrative stories on scratchboard have become an outlet for her and a safe place to store honest feelings and a full range of emotions from grief to joy (sometimes in the same painting). The animal characters help provide this type of complexity as well as the ability to strip away some of the unnecessary weight of human preconceptions. “I like creating animals with human attributes because I can capture a clearer sense of human emotion without the viewer’s vision being clouded with stereotypes or unconscious prejudices.
- Camille LeFevre”
