Kristin Lindseth was in an invitation-only curated exhibition Facing Home at the Euphrat Museum of Art in Cupertino, CA.  This exhibition explores the who, what and where that gives us a sense of home or refuge and honors the passing of loved ones central to the concept of home. The show was built around the mythical town San Ardo which I created in the wake of the Lightning strike fires of August 2020. The buildings are wood multimedia with lights and sound. Also included are works byTessie Barrera, Edith Argabrite, Nimah Gobir, Lydia Sanchez and RoxanaVega. The exhibition ran from November 1, 2023 to1 December 27, 2023

Additionally, three sculptures from Marguerite Elliot’s Sentinels: Protectors of Wild and Beautiful Places are installed in Holden Garden on the Pitzer College campus from Augusts 28, 2023 – May 17, 2024. This series gestures to the precarious interface between technology and the environment. Inspired by yet distinct from the ubiquitous cell phone towers that populate our contemporary landscape, Elliot’s sculptures stand watch as they broadcast a warning of the climate crisis.
