Force Field: Drawings by Christine Hiebert

Twelve works on paper will be on view in the Museum’s two-level atrium gallery, including 8-foot, scroll-like works accompanied by smaller related drawings. The sense of space and light she creates in these drawings conveys the vastness and unpredictable energy of nature. Hiebert grew up near Philadelphia. Her grandfather raised cattle in Nebraska; Hiebert’s childhood experiences of the farm and of camping in the west engendered an affinity for stillness and for open spaces. The artist offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own relation to the nature and language of line and its habitation in space.
