Exhibition Title: TURBULENCE: Birds, Beauty, Language & Loss
About: TURBULENCE: Birds, Beauty, Language & Loss, a solo exhibition of Deborah Kruger’s environmental artwork will be on display at the Block Gallery in Raleigh, NC from December 4, 2024 – April 25, 2025
TURBULENCE focuses on Deborah Kruger’s current body of work, which is motivated by the extinction of bird species, and the loss of indigenous languages around the world. Human-induced climate change and habitat fragmentation contribute to these problems. Saturated colors characterize Kruger’s work and often mimic bird plumage. She hopes to raise awareness, and inspire action about these impending losses that affect all of us.
