Notes on the State of Virginia
March 01, 2018 - July 31, 2018United Company Contemporary Regional Art Gallery
Exhibit Details
For more than 25 years, Suzanne Stryk has recorded her experiences with nature in sketchbooks that are both journals of walks near her Bristol, Virginia, home and scientific documents of the flora and fauna she observes. These pages have served as foundations for hundreds of mixed-media works that blend the natural history of a place with Stryk’s own direct experiences with each environment. In her new series, Notes on the State of Virginia, based on Thomas Jefferson’s 1781 book detailing Virginia’s diverse animal and plant populations, Stryk has created more than two dozen place-based assemblages detailing her own travels through the state and the flora and fauna she observed on her journey.
