I began this piece in June in CO and finished it in early November in OH. The inclusion of the Chickadee is one I traced from a chickadee that my dad drew and painted in 2016. My dad was in the later stages of Alzheimer's and having him paint with me in my studio gave him moments of clarity and access to a wonderful visual language. He referenced the pictures I took of birds-in-flight that came to my bird feeder. In November in OH, the Chickadee’s are very active taking seeds from my feeder and flying off to stuff them into bark crevices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1734047844669-CZ2S0YNI5WFNZHBOT4XI/FlummoxingFuture2024.jpg Work - Flummoxing Future https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1734047746744-GIBFJMW2NR4LK5XALSPN/DecemberSunshineNatureEncroaching2024.jpg Work - December Sunlight: Nature Encroaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1720021867264-T0JGCEKW4Z6T4LEGHS8O/ExhibitionPicLesley.JPG Work - Lesley University MFA Graduation Exhibition, June 2024, Cambridge, MA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1720023281739-NVC6TLA5J2IVKAH6KSX1/MFAartTalkPic.JPG Work - Clark University MFA Graduate Fellow Art Talk: Wandering Canvases: Uncanny Explorations of Home Centered around collaged and painted un-stretched canvas that extends in irregular directions, my work expresses the complex search for home through the fluidity of memory, identity, and belonging. The heavy emotional impact of witnessing my father in late-stage Alzheimer’s fuels my attempt to visually capture the uncanny nature of the phenomenon of wandering, and his incessant search for a place he once called home. Because I live and work in two places, my work also challenges notions of stability and rootedness and evokes my feelings of in-betweenness, fragmentation and belonging. My search for belonging mirrors a journey without a destination. My home is a site of perpetual transformation and renegotiation and an ever-shifting landscape. I use acrylic, oil, charcoal, oil pastels, found textiles and objects on collaged, un-stretched canvas to express what is uncanny about this search and offers a metaphor for the ephemeral nature of home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1720022087852-PB0DZ80OBR38T8BYFXD8/WombChairFiveZeroZero2024.jpg Work - Womb Chair: Suspended Five Zero Zero 56x34in acrylic, oil, found cut-up quilt on un-stretched linen [2024] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1720022062264-ITOMX448SZVG9WGCRJ39/DoNotGoGentle.jpg Work - Do Not Go Gentle 44x30in. found textiles, thread and acrylic on un-stretched canvas [ 2024] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1720022057912-4P9ROGC81R4S05CSEXHD/Odysseus.jpg Work - Odysseus Crossing the Unknown Sea: Home to Penelope 83x39in. acrylic, found papers, found textiles on un-stretched canvas [2024] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1720022104655-T047AXL7ZNZSXO7KRQF6/BetweenTwoUnknowns.jpg Work - Between Two Unknowns, I Live My Life 41x33in. acrylic, found textiles, found papers collaged on un-stretched canvas [2024] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1733832980102-QN07JQ7UZMLL7C986HEG/KarenFisher_PushPullFactor_2024_AcrylicCanvas_53x24in.JPG Work - Push Pull Factor 53×24in. acrylic and charcoal on collaged un-stretched canvas [2024] http://www.karenfisherart.com/about daily 0.75 2020-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/1484446191562-WBM6NA07OXGTRCKVQYVR/headshot+in+ohio+studio-83.jpg About http://www.karenfisherart.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-12-30 http://www.karenfisherart.com/pagecv daily 0.75 2020-10-20 http://www.karenfisherart.com/cv-1 daily 0.75 2024-12-19 http://www.karenfisherart.com/karenfisherart-about daily 1.0 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5664d81de4b04e4db002e8d6/4949da78-5288-4904-9932-daed1c2d2fe7/BetweenTwoUnknowns.jpg About - Make it stand out Between Two Unknowns, I Live My Life 41x33in. acrylic, found textiles and found papers collaged on un-stretched canvas [2024] http://www.karenfisherart.com/collages daily 0.75 2018-10-14
