Elizabeth Sher: Good Coffee, Bad News
Elizabeth Sher seamlessly merges her personal anxieties and the pulse of the current era in her latest exhibition, Good Coffee, Bad News employing humor and beauty to make challenging news more palatable. 鈥淢orning Joe,鈥� Sher鈥檚 large wall mural contrasts the tranquil elegance of daybreak, as observed from her window, with a surrounding border of news headlines about the climate crisis. Her video 鈥淧lenty for Some,鈥� delves into the complex topic of food insecurity, weaving visuals of abundant, overflowing produce with statistics showing the stark reality of inadequate access to nourishment. In addition, twelve abstract watercolors from her series, 鈥淚t Dawned on Me,鈥� and 鈥淭hree Bags Full,鈥� drawings on paper headlines spotlighting fires, floods, and storms. These images build upon her fascination with the interplay between written words and visual art, an exploration she initiated in her previous solo exhibition at Mercury 20 Gallery, 鈥淢ark My Words,鈥� in 2022.
