Opening February 25, 2023, 1-3pm at our Offsite Gallery, Suite #287, MacArthur Center, 300 Monticello Ave., Norfolk, VA 23510:
“Blue Musings” is a study of nature and a practice of artistic mindfulness. Using the historical process of cyanotype and collage, Kirby has created unique compositions of found florals and historical photographs that touch on the themes of motherhood, family, and the duality of the intense love and intense sadness of postpartum depression. Each piece is a practice in artistic mindfulness, of living in the moment of creation.
The community is invited to contribute to a collaborative origami project installation during the opening reception. Kirby will lead guests in the creation of origami butterflies made from cyanotypes on vintage paper that will be assembled upon the wall. Free and open to the public.
