Faith Williams and Brandon Finamore
At the Verge

At the Verge is an exhibition that shines a light on four categories of pollinators: butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and bats.

A collaboration by Edge gallery member artist Faith Williams and local artist Brandon Finamore, the show merges science-based illustration and artistic aesthetic to spark conversations about the plight of pollinators and their importance to sustaining a healthy ecosystem, environment, and food systems.

“Our desire is for our audience to walk away with a renewed appreciation and understanding of pollinators and their importance to our natural world. The long term goal is to donate some of the proceeds from the show toward conservation efforts and connect viewers to ways they can get involved. ”

20% of the sales from this show will go directly to pollinator conservation and sustainability efforts:  Endangered Species Coalitionand Pollinator Partnership.

Words and Relationship

"Peace" (detail) rust dyed silk organza 2020
“Peace” (detail) rust dyed silk organza 2020

Much of my art has developed around the ideas of interconnection and relationship. When we exchange words through conversation or writing, the words shift depending on our understanding of them. This has a significant impact on how ideas evolve in our world. In this work I examined words and what they mean to me. How does my visual exploration of a word help me better understand my relationship with it and what am I trying to say when I use a particular word? These art works are visual interpretations of the meaning of words through fiber and sculptural forms.

What has Come to Be

abstact artwork of flowing shapes, yellow, red, black and white
Undoing 30″x24″ Acrylic on canvas

What’s been happening takes its toll.  I don’t know what to do.  What’s doing?  Don’t know.  But what’s to do?  Accept that I don’t know and look to see what comes to be.  Where did it come from?  Don’t know.  What does it mean?  Don’t know.  What now?  Just paint.

Plastic Vortex

Petrochemical Tsunami (detail), acrylic paint & plastic crap on canvas

Assemblage paintings, made from single-use & non-recyclable plastic crap.

Most conventional plastic crap is made from non-biodegradable petrochemicals— instead of decomposing over time, it simply breaks down into smaller & smaller pieces.
Inexpensive and simple to manufacture, costly and inconvenient to recycle. Produced on a massive scale, used in endless ways, by countless humans, throughout the day; often discarded and disregarded in mere minutes.
The waste created from plastic crap has only accumulated over time, impacting our physical health and the environment.

By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans

Finding Our Way

“Finding Our Way” (triptych) 66″x84″ acrylic on canvas and panel, 2020.

Based on the Greek myth of Theseus defeating the minotaur and finding his way out of the labyrinth with string, these pieces deal with feeling lost while navigating the mayhem of 2020, both in the domestic setting with energetic children, and in the wider world. Not neglecting other aspects of this bizarre time, this series also looks at the quiet moments of concern for loved ones, the contrast of volatility and vulnerability, the constriction and gladness of being (home)bound together, and above all the desire to live and love as we wish.
