Exhibit Description

Next Stage Arts presents Quiet Witness, an exhibition of images by Vermont-based printmaker and illustrator, Briony Morrow-Cribbs. An opening celebration and artists’ reception is scheduled for Friday, August 29, 6:00 – 8:00 PM. The show will continue through November 10. Morrow-Cribbs draws on over 30 years of etching experience to create intricate, richly detailed creatures—both real and imagined—that explore the boundary between human and animal experience.

Her work has been exhibited nationally and featured in bestselling books, including Wicked Plants and Wicked Bugs.

The Next Stage Gallery is open during events, and by appointment with the artist or by contacting Next Stage at info@nextstagearts.org or (802) 451-0053.

Artist Description

Briony Morrow-Cribbs says "I’ve always felt slightly baffled by being human—as if I arrived here a form too early and should have had at least one more life as a gopher, a wren, or maybe a fox. Through my work, I use animal forms to slip into other shapes, follow different instincts, and see the world from a wilder perspective. These images—sometimes real, sometimes imagined—let me explore facets of myself that don’t easily fit within the human experience."
