\u201cThese site-specific installations explore the metamorphosis of refuse materials, cast away or obsolete objects to new and surprising creations,\u201d Tanner told the Post. \u201cEach artist is responding to the world\u2019s environmental degradation, impacts of natural catastrophe and reactions to current political chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The women included in the exhibition represent a range of seasoned veterans, mid-career and emerging artists each with a unique approach to their practice. Their technical expertise and creativity in the renewal of discarded materials create an informed and deliberate collection of pieces that elicit \u201can insightful curiosity to inspire change,\u201d according to the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Beach is home and workplace for many regionally active professional visual artists,\u201d Tanner said. \u201cThere are very few options for us to exhibit in quality fine art venues and stand alone commercial galleries here in the city. My thinking upon organizing this show is to introduce the LBC artist talent pool to this new venue<\/a> and vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n
