Show through the end of November

Objet Trouvé* was created during seven months in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, where Margeaux Bestard spent the summer of 2021 working as a boatman. She brought with her gifted and found objects from her home on the rim in Flagstaff, AZ.

This project explores the intersection of home with the sacred —what makes a home, and how does one experience the sacred within it, by braiding together her home on the rim with her home below.

All frames in this exhibition were handcrafted in Flagstaff by Kimberly Murdza. Murdza’s metalwork acts as the perfect backdrop for Bestard’s art. As metal can transform from fluid to solid and back again, so Bestard’s art transmutes home into the sacred.
