Commit to Memory: The Precipice of Extinction
By Cheryl Gross
On view: June 5-July 3
Opening: Fri, June 5 | 5-7pm
Commit to Memory: The Precipice of Extinction is a multi-platform, social commentary addressing the shifting and eventual disappearance of our culture using animals as metaphors with overall goal being socially relevant as well as visually compelling.
Using animals on the endangered species list I have created a multi-media graphic audiovisual representation of society teetering on the verge of collapse. Artistic depictions of animal species as victims illustrate the decline of the American democratic system. Use of the word “extinction” throughout the narrative is the blueprint of this project.
