A REPORT ON AMERICA’S WEATHER 2016–2020 SELECTED WORK BY TAD SAVINAR ON THE EVE OF AN ELECTION


“This exhibition, scheduled in 2017 to be exhibited in 2020 was intended to chronicle the months and years between those two important civic mile-posts. The challenge for me, was not to immediately respond to every event, but rather to try and capture the under currents as they churned deep below the surface. Oddly enough, all of the work in this exhibition was completed before the impeachments, the protests and pandemics.

I offer you this small collection of intimately-scaled works more akin to the size of our brains than the size of the media. It is my hope to deliver something you are free to consider or dismiss. An exhibition of work that is gentle. Gentle enough to give you pause. Gentle enough to respect your beliefs. Gentle like a hand-rubbed bronze imbued with the soul of a long-ago century. Gentle like a considered thought. Gentle like a mother’s whisper.” – Tad Savinar
