In her exhibition ‘MESSENGERS,’ Kathryn Bagwell’s work finely brushes the ancient past using anthropomorphic lines that stretch into humanity’s past and present day civilizations, yet maintains an awareness that there will be civilizations in the future.  By juxtaposing these lines with geometric emblems, she creates a metaphor for shared human experience. She states, “The miracle of life is present in all things,” an ode to everything in the past and everything that will become.
