Event Details
Femi J. Johnson envisions his world through “collaged experiences.” Layers and fragments from his childhood to adult life, his formal and self-taught education and his personal and media-influenced worldview all float inside looking for position and meaning through his work. In his show, “Urban Pathways: Safe or Sacred Spaces,” Johnson continues this process, creating ‘abstract story-scapes’ with a focus on dwelling in the city of Easton. Through his gestural strokes, passionate use of colors, and the incorporation of mixed media collage, he challenges what makes up form and place, invoking a connection. “I approach subject matter in a manner to exalt life… In whatever form it occurs,” explains Johnson.

Georgia O’Keefe once said, “It is only by selection, by elimination, and by emphasis that we get at the real meaning of things.” We will use this logic to cast a critical eye on maps, and by taking note of what is represented and what is left out of these maps, we will begin to get at the real meaning behind them.
Then we’ll flip the process and make our own collaborative map of the Bushkill Creek Watershed, highlighting the complex network of social, physical, and biological life contained within its boundaries
