Art Space: Home

Precipice is the title given to a series of concurrent exhibitions by three artists: David Maisel, Jess Benjamin, and Mark Messersmith. Each artist is uniquely concerned with the interaction between humans, nature, and the impact that this interaction has on the environment. Each artist’s unique interpretation encourages inquiry and reflection about the fraught relationship between humanity and the environment in the area.
