: The third portion of CFAER’s exhibition deals with the development of new perspectives. During this time of social distancing we’ve had the chance to explore the self, our community, & society and develop new perspectives of each, working to reimagine our pasts to create new futures. Through months of reflection, learning, and re-learning we have collectively began to see the world through new lenses, adding emphasis... to the ways we build community, see, and value each other. The artworks featured here are both illustrated records and colorful abstractions of the ways these artists exist in and view the world around them. 1.Paint and embroidery on fabric by Cheryl 2.Comic made with graphite on paper by Mekko 3.Embroidery by Nadezhda 4.Digital art by Kaillee 5.Embroidery by Leah 6.Acrylic on paper by Anonymous Artist 7.Fine point pen on paper by Melinda 8.Paint and marker on paper by Kailee 9.
