I am excited to have my Cascades collages and accompanying sculptural branches included in an international group exhibition on view through October 30 at the National Center of Contemporary Arts in Minsk, Belarus.
This exhibit is curated by Soude Dadras as part of her curatorial platform, Ongoing Conversation.

My artwork is accompanied by a music piece titled Four Cascades and a Hymn by Douglas Levine with sound design by Angela Baughman.
