The exhibition is open to an interpretation of the theme Anthropomorphism. Art and storytelling have used anthropomorphism for centuries to express the innate neurological response of projecting human characteristics onto nonhuman entities. This idea is seen in folklore and children’s literature with prominent examples from Aesop’s fables, the works of Beatrix Potter, and Disney. It’s understood in psychology as a mechanism for understanding the unfamiliar, attaining a sense of control, and combatting the loneliness that drives us to give names and personalities to our inanimate belongings. The rich history of anthropomorphism seen in social, religious, and cultural contexts combined with the varied artistic backgrounds of the participating artists will present a range of diverse interpretations using dierent applied media.
Included are works by Kathryn Brame, Jennifer Prevatt, William Flynn, Scott Tait, Kevin Christensen, Bex Harvey, Irene Brown, Rebecca Woods, Theresa Poulton, and Samantha Cary.
