Michael Knight: Border Crossings
In his latest exhibition, Border Crossings, artist Michael Knight uses the ubiquitous crow as a symbol for human migration prompted by instinct, necessity, and fate. Knight creates unique works that he coins “digiglyphs” — a combination of hand drawing and traditional monoprint techniques mixed with digital manipulation. Distorted maps become the backdrop of silhouetted black birds within a repetition of hand-drawn rings in order to symbolize the rippling effects of time. “Black birds are symbolic of humans as survivors,” explains Knight, “My work is communicating the rhythms of migration and the change that occurs when someone with established patterns of living moves from one place to another and has to understand how to fit in.” Knight’s work beckons the viewer to reflect on how these rhythms affect their own lives and our world at large.
Michael Knight received his BFA and MFA from Otis College of Art and Design, and is represented by TAG Gallery, www.taggallery.net.
