Thorns & Living Systems: Jayne Lawrence, Leigh Anne Lester, cactusBRA/cactusBARN

This exhibition brings together works from the individual creative careers of Jayne Lawrence and Leigh Anne Lester and a variety of materials that reference their collaborative endeavors in cactusBRA and cactusBARN, the influential galleries they founded in San Antonio. While pursuing unique themes and perspectives, Lawrence and Lester bring critical attention to the possibilities of imagination to transform expectations that structure standard knowledge systems. Lester’s works often have a foundation in considerations of the natural world whereas Lawrence’s works often develop in consideration of challenges to narratives that influence subjectivity and social engagement. The exhibition features mixed-media two- and three-dimensional works and installation.

Opening Reception: January 23, 6 – 8 pm

Location: Russell Hill Rogers Galleries
