Anchors of the Heart
Micheline Klagsbrun
Curated by Aneta Georgievska-Shine
Wednesday, April 26 through Saturday, May 20, 2023
My ‘Night Boat’ sculptures evoke times of dislocation, when we must patch our lives together out of random materials, and move forward despite not knowing what lies ahead.
Originally inspired by family experiences, and amplified by the ongoing plight of refugees everywhere, Night Boats also represent other journeys of life. On our voyages into the unknown, what memories do we hold on to and what belongings carry these memories for us? These memories are also the family connections and roots that help us remember who we are and give us resilience and hope.
This exhibition brings together small mixed-media sculptures and works on paper that invite the viewer into an intimate world of precious possessions, the objects and memories we bring with us. They are our anchors in the floating world, our roots in the storm.
