Director's Statement

The Water Works exhibition emerged from my desire to bring a cooling subject into the Center for Arts during the hot summer months. The subject of water as a theme for an exhibition has been on my mind for over a year. When the submissions started coming in, I was delighted to find strong figurative, human and fish elements in the work being presented to us. It evolved into the central focus of the Water Works show.

Most of the human body is made of water. The presence of water on Earth makes life possible. Change, flow, movement...the Earth without water would be a rocky mass. Water is needed to make our food grow, our flowers bloom.
During this summer in Natick, in the middle of a Mandatory Water Ban,I invite the viewers of Water Works to think about the depths of water, increasing your awareness of of it as you drink in the exhibition.
