Drift
A juried show as selected by Tessa Beck

Monumental sand dunes, boats on the water, smoke from wildfires, displacement due to environmental crisis... We observe constant states of drift, some exacerbated by human activity. The word drift refers to movement driven by an outside force. What does it mean to be moved or carried without guidance or control? When we drift, we are reminded of our ability to adapt, change, and intervene. Engaging with environmental challenges provides an opportunity to refresh our perspective and curiosity and set our course.
