I'm over the moon to be included in Kehler Liddell's 5th Annual Juried Show in New Haven, Connecticut! Titled Our DNA, the exhibit runs through July 25th, 2021.
Here's a little blurb from the gallery:
For this year’s juried show, the artists at KLG asked their colleagues to consider the following:
We humans are biological siblings,
belonging to the genus Homo, and as Sapiens, the last surviving species
of our genus. The last year spoke loudly of divisions and differences,
but for this exhibit, we ask you as artists to focus on our 99.9% shared
genome. Using any tools or languages, explore the belief systems and
vocabularies of our family tree that touch on our common physical or
metaphorical DNA, our essential humanity, the soul of the Sapien.
Having reviewed submissions from as far
away as Cyprus, and as close as our own Elm City, the jury curated an
exhibition showcasing the responses of over 50 artists working in a wide
range of media.
You can check out images from all the artists in the show HERE.
Here is my work, in an image captured by the gallery:

And here is what The Daily Nutmeg had to say about it -
"A few works emphasize the “Our” in the exhibition’s title—the characteristics we share. Marsha Borden’s companion pieces WE (Cut From the Same Cloth) I and II
are literally so—patchwork pieces labeled “Us” and “Them” stitched
together into a doll and a ball. The titles emphasize our similarities,
while the pieces ironically point to an impulse to differentiate and
divide that is sewn into us."
A HUGE thank you to Kathy Leonard Czepiel, Associate Editor at Daily Nutmeg (New Haven's Weekly Magazine), for an insightful review of the show. You can read the full article HERE.
You can read a second review of the show HERE, this one by the awesome Brian Slattery at New Haven Independent.
