PUTNEY-Next Stage Gallery announces "Quiet Witness: An Homage to the Flora and Fauna of Vermont," a solo exhibit of works by printmaker and illustrator Briony Morrow-Cribbs. The exhibition opens with a reception on Friday, Aug. 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill. The public is invited to attend and meet the artist.
In "Quiet Witness," Morrow-Cribbs presents a detailed menagerie of creatures - real and imagined - that explores the boundary between human and animal experience. With over 30 years of etching experience, she offers work that shows "technical mastery and emotional resonance, encouraging viewers to momentarily shed the weight of being human and enter a wilder, more instinctual world," wrote organizers in a news release.
Raised on Whidbey Island in Washington State and now based in southern Vermont, Morrow-Cribbs is the founder of Twin Vixen Press. Her etchings and illustrations have appeared in national and international exhibitions, as well as bestselling books, including Wicked Plants and Wicked Bugs by Amy Stewart; and Unnatural Creatures, edited by Neil Gaiman. To learn more about her work, visit brionymorrow-cribbs.com.
The exhibit will remain on view through Nov. 10. The Next Stage Gallery is open during events and by appointment with the artist or through Next Stage. To schedule a visit, contact [email protected] or call 802-387-0102.
