Reconstructed Landscapes

The artworks in this exhibit explore the delicate and hazy lines that define landscapes. Where do nature and human influence meet and where do they diverge?
Curator Robin Doggett calls Reconstructed Landscapes, “A collection of works of the natural world as imagined, interpreted, and reinvented by artists.” This show will let us see the diverse environments and media that make up the landscape: our past, present and futurescapes brought to life.

Janet Fagan

The idea of Home implies safety - a space where we can be ourselves and find rest. When our sense of home is lost, how can we rediscover it? This solo exhibit featuring works by Mazama artist Janet Fagan explores the idea of home through what she defines as safe spaces for the heart. Janet’s work reflects her responses to the questions of where do we feel most at peace, most welcome, and most at ease? Who can be welcomed in?
Janet Fagan says, “My deepest sense of Home is often constructed by the sky and earth, as the landscape witnesses my life and reminds me of my connection to all things. People or animals I love are my places of rest. This exhibit presents spaces of safety as I feel them, inviting you to reflect, create, and respond. I hope you’ll feel welcomed and join me in creating a call and response to what Home means to you.”
At the end of the exhibit, community responses will be gathered and braided into new artwork, celebrated at a closing reception. Fagan says, “We are all artists, and together we can create a welcoming place of safety and beauty. We are Home.”
