Trajectories
Trajectories can be a chosen pathway or a result of fate. The trajectory or creative ark of an artists' work will vary from artist to artist, influenced by age, life experience, world view and chosen mediums. The show "Trajectories" will explore the chosen or fated artistic pathways of four women, each artist at a different point in their creative journeys. Each on a different trajectory on their own ark.
