Piece description from the artist
With countries in conflict, the polarization of our political parties, and xenophobia at an all-time high…how can we bridge our differences to work together in harmony for a better future? In Bridging Our Differences, I wanted to show that despite the seemingly enormous obstacles (the large green rocks) in our way, individuals (the small, colorful stones) banding together could create these bridges to help us move forward towards positive change.
One of my favorite quotes by Margaret Mead, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Let us all work toward being one of these small, colorful stones.
Colorado artist Kathy Ferguson paints colorful abstract landscapes that are richly layered, botanically inspired reactions to her experiences with nature. Using combinations of geometric and organic shapes, she creates imaginary worlds using paint, collage paper, and ink. Her colors are often bold and saturated alluding to environments more illusionary than authentic, places more commonly found in dreams than in reality.
Her work is held in many collections including the Plaza Hotel in New York, the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston, and the Belmond Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg, Russia.
