Our Fragile Moment

Kruger’s Environmental Fiber Art on view in Chelsea, New York

New York based artist and curator Fran Beallor has assembled a powerful and timely exhibition titled Our Fragile Moment. 

I will be joining over 30 artists working across a wide range of mediums and styles to express our concerns and understanding of the global climate crisis. 

Like many of my colleagues, my artwork has pivoted around this topic for many years, with my chief concern being the plummeting population of birds around the world. 

Two of my pieces of environmental textile art will be featured in this exhibition located at the Hudson Guild Gallery in the heart of the Chelsea art district in New York City. 

One piece titled Butterfly Effect is a suspended mobile of digitally printed feathers that debuted at the Diego Rivera Museum in Mexico City in 2011. 

This piece is joined with Black Feather Triangle, one of my feathered wall reliefs that was just finished in time for this show. 

I am pleased to have my artwork included in a show who’s theme is so central to my heart and art. And I’m delighted to show with 32 other artists  from 5 countries whose work offers a multiplicity of thoughtful expressions about this topic that now touches all of our lives.
