4th Annual Art on the Town
Thursday, October 13, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
6:30 p.m. Artist Gallery Talk
Commonplace imagery---mass-produced, observed, and remembered---becomes a threatening encounter in Willcox’s painting series Witness. By juxtaposing seemingly unrelated references to moments and places, to people and objects, the artist gives viewers the opportunity to draw their own conclusions about possible commonalities and contradictions. For the artist, “These varying methods of perception and representation form our collective memories and sympathies. I want to see how I might best use them to evoke the memories and sympathies of my audience.”
An MFA graduate from the Mason Gross School of the Art at Rutgers University, Willcox has exhibited widely in the United States and Ontario, Canada. She is currently a professor of art at Macalester College.
