In “Claiming Space” artist Marilyn Banner continues her exploration of the earth’s forms and energies through the rich medium of encaustic. The initial inspiration for this work was her strong visceral response to lichen, to its variety of colors, textures, and shapes, and the way it proliferates on the surface of stone and bark. The colonies grow next to each other and on top of each other. They respond to their environment, to light and moisture in the air. They live together in concert, each species claiming space, and all co-existing peacefully.

The light, warmth, depth, and intelligence of the Jewish people, by some miracle, have not been extinguished. I began the body of work "Still With Us" with images I had photographed in Prague and at Terezin, where numerous Jewish artists, writers, composers, and musicians were interred and lost their lives. After working for months with images of pain, I searched for images of survival and joy. These works were created in 2000 by phototransfer and ink drawing on dyed yellow fabric, mounted on black gator board, with grommets for hanging on a single nail. The phototransfers combine well-known images from Jacob Riis, Irving I. Herzberg, YIVO, and others, with images from the artist's family. During the month of September 2026 they are offered at 1/2 price (buyer is responsible for shipping, if necessary).
