March Group Show

A group show of work in any media,

Executive Director of the Garrison Art Center in Garrison, NY. Swann states that “To verbally describe or explain a work of art negates its defining characteristic. In the process of making art I try not to explain it, however I play with
words that act as conceptual provokers. My staple word is ‘paradox,’ a concept to which I am passionately attracted and without which life would be boringly predictable.”
