the\njuxtaposition of elements creates unique pleasing patterns, blurring\u2014but not\nhiding\u2014the socio-political and ecological themes in her pieces.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Margi Weir describes her work: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My work, creative\nresearch, has always been about topics that are personal even if\npolitical.&nbsp; It is often the only way that I can come to terms with things\nthat anger me or frighten me.&nbsp; I have become so horrified by the level of\nanger and division in this country that I must take a look at it through making\nwork about it.&nbsp; I don\u2019t expect my work to change anything, but through a\njuxtaposition of images, I hope the viewer will come away with a continued\nquestioning of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julie Bowland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor and Gallery Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedo Maranville Fine Arts\nGallery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Department of Art &amp;
