Matt Tanner: “Recent Work”

Emerge: the process of allowing complex compositions to emerge, with a process that enables discovery of hidden imagery that relates to my everyday life experiences.

Nancy Harrod: “Disturbances”

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Berkshires, everything seems perfect as I hike or drive through the lush, rolling green hills. It’s a gift to glimpse a fox or a bear, an early sunrise, or a brilliant sunset. But I am aware of disturbances lurking beneath the surface.

Several of my large acrylic paintings and painted paper collages feature portals, serving as a metaphor for looking both forward and back. What does the future hold? What’s at the threshold of the unknown, and what are we leaving behind? How does one live a life that accommodates the appreciation of beauty while we are facing very present threats?

In my work, disturbances are found in the juxtapositions of colors, sharp angles, and roiling brush marks. There can be no serenity, for everything is in a state of change and disruption.

SMFA Students: “Losing My Religion”

Losing My Religion is focused on the obsessions and devotions we are drawn to when we lose faith. Religion has shaped humanity; it was how we found community, gave people a sense of purpose, and provided explanations to the unexplainable. 

Losing My Religion asks the artists where they place their faith when they no longer feel connected to a faith or no longer want to devote themselves to these dogmas. What then fills that hole? What obsessions do they give themselves to? What becomes their muse? Where do they go to find comfort?
