Event Description:
Sentinels consists of a recent series of mixed media drawings in which Bliss employs a playful visual language to speak to grave ecological, and other, concerns. Menageries of bandaged deer, rabbits, ostriches, and birds balance in odd clusters in ephemeral habitats. Classifications and alliances are confused in the absence of definable place and natural order.

The portfolio was organized by UA professor Andrew Polk and Kathryn Polk. Museum Hours: Tuesday – Friday 9 am – 5 pm, Saturday and Sunday Noon – 4 pm.
