Ashland artist Alicia Mannix will join area artists and writers
in a 16-acre statement about terroristic atrocities of September
11.
The
show, “Visual Rescue: Artists Respond to 9/11,” will take up acreage
in downtown Medford, using area equivalent to ground zero where
once stood the World Trade Center towers.
Mannix
will show a new acrylic titled “There Is No Place Like Home,”
which she painted after hearing about the Visual Rescue exhibit.
The exhibit’s organizers called for expressions derived from the
bombings of September 11.
“I did not want to dwell on the horrors of it but concentrate
on the impact -- the bonding impact -- that it had on the nation,”
Mannix said or her approach. It also shows the range of emotions
she felt and recognized in others.
Mannix
grew up in Poland and moved to Oregon from Maryland in 1979. She
has shown in Portland, on the coast and in Ashland and will exhibit
paintings in January at Walker Elementary School in Ashland.
