VISIONS 2020

Judy Martin's two-sided piece My Awakened Heart (above)  Noble Tenderness (below) is included in the important art quilt exhibition, Visions 2020.  

The Visions museum and gallery was not able to mount the exhibition because of pandemic restrictions in San Diego, California and so it is a virtual exhibition only. Click here to view the exhibition.

There is a PDF catalogue that can be printed on demand.  Click here.

Judy Martin was one of three jurors for Land Art: From the Forest to your Balcony, an exhibition now open on the virtual gallery of the SAQA website.  Her statement:  "It was both an honour and a serious responsibility to be one of the curators for SAQA's first Land Art exhibition.  When humans interact with artwork set in nature, we  discover new connections and meanings in what was so familiar.  Because most of us can only experience these ephemeral installations through books and online experiences, it is important for artists working in this evolving art form to remember that excellent photography is crucial.  The climate crises, the pandemic, and humanity's mark are subjects explored by some of the artists in this exhibition, but the most common theme remains the imagination itself, and how it is ignited by the experience of being outside.  Sincere thanks to all who entered and made this exhibition so successful.
