Breaking Boundaries

An exhibit by the members of New England Wax

January 2 – 26, 2014
Juried by Lauren O'Neal and Sara Zela, 
Lamont Gallery, Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, NH

The art in Breaking Boundaries, while unified by the medium of encaustic, is defined by personal thematic interpretations.  The twenty-one artists participating in this exhibition employ diverse styles and theme as they work toward their personal “thresholds”, challenging the boundaries of message, meaning, metaphor, and materiality.
