Presenting new works embracing the process and action of drawing and the expressive and constructive aspects of photography, this show by Vivian Cooper Smith uses the dialogue of materials to reveal the global state of crisis. The artist explains, ‘The world we live in no longer feels safe, and while this is not new for many, it is for those that took it for granted. Our actions have always had consequences, but now they are grotesquely visible, and we must learn new ways to live.’
