We tend to gravitate toward people whose thinking mirrors our own. As a result, we form connections that can be supportive and affirming - but can also lead to confirmation bias. "Like Minded" (10X20) is a connected diptych that explores this aspect of human nature through handmade paper (cotton and abaca) cast onto strings and suspended across two fabric covered cradled boards. Through the handmade paper wall sculptures in my Connection collection, I'm exploring the ways we connect and interact as individuals, as communities and as a global society. "Like Minded" has been juried into this year's Slice exhibit of California contemporary art at the Pence Gallery in Davis California. The exhibit runs through August 17, 2025. I'm grateful to both the Pence and to juror Susie Kantor, Associate Curator & Exhibition Department Head at the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art at UC Davis.
