Diana Guerrero-Maciá: Paintings for Birds
Each year more than 325 avian species use the Mississippi Flyway, a migratory path that extends from Canada through the Midwestern United States to the Caribbean and South America. Their seasonal movements, threatened by climate change and urban development, served as metaphors for displacement, unity, and exchange in Diana Guerrero-Maciá’s commanding exhibition of more than twenty works. Throughout her textile-based paintings and vibrant mixed-media collages, the artist simultaneously invoked histories of modernist abstraction and the natural world from which they derive.
