SCHEUNEN HEX-SCHILD

Scheunen Hex-Schild, German for barn hex sign, is a personal, contemporary version of a Pennsylvania Dutch traditional barn decoration. Although most designs were used simply to adorn barns, some functioned as “witch marks” to ward off unwanted spirits. This one acts to call attention to the activity within the barn and as a clue about the internal life of the artist. The six pointed star is comprised of 6 funnels ringing a central axis. The funnel is a personal symbol for the artist who sees it as an apt representation of the role of artists as conduits of meaning, channeling limitless experiences, facts, observations, and possibilities into concise concentrated forms. The funnel is open to and extends in many directions indicating an active and open interaction with the world. Other shapes and symbols arise through the overlapping funnels generating further meanings and associations open for interpretation

Opening night will be Friday, November 1, 2024 from 5-8pm.  Closing Reception Friday, January 3, 2025. 

Show will run until January 5, 2025
