Ideas May Shift

These two artists are paired because of their sensitivity to media, the layering of artistic elements and the interplay of image and text. Durfee uses woodcut prints, paper constructions and poetry to illuminate and interpret "the internal psychological environment." The selected images, from her butterfly series, reflect the seasons of life and contrast mankind’s creative and destructive powers with its ultimate frailty and powerlessness.  Hancock freezes “snippets” of text as an impetus for a deeper understanding of the meaning and the possibilities that the phrase evokes.  The paintings are meant to be intimate, with stray thoughts and musings woven into an abstraction of painting surfaces.
