An “artifact” is something human-made and is characteristic of, or resulting from, a particular period in time, trend, or individual. Without documentation or a physical reference – how does one revisit that moment in time once it is gone? How is it shared and remembered within communities and generations? 

Relative to an ancient mineral or historically defined artifacts, contemporary art may seem trivial. Yet, contemporary art lives in the present and establishes a footprint in time. A work of art holds a unique role in understanding life and exposing the multifarious nature within. 

“Footprints on the sands of time” is a famed phrase by 19th century American Writer, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow that describes the mark any individual may leave on a collective and personal history. Through a contemporary lens, the four artists in this exhibition provide a documentary, serving as historians of today and conservators of the future. The work of Drew Leshko, Jourdian (MBK) DeBerry, Marisa Stratton, and Mary Henderson exemplifies the capacity of art to capture a moment or object in time that may then be observed and reflected upon. Artifact presents artistic approaches in documenting human connections, environment, and culture with the understanding that what is created today will inform and impact tomorrow.

Participating Artists: Jourdian (MBK) DeBerry, Mary Henderson, Drew Leshko, Marisa Stratton
